Now Seriously

Is it the rule that when you take in a stray the word gets out in the animal kingdom that you have an open door policy?? If this is true, then word is spreading here like wildfire. Tonight while I was repotting some garden seedlings I heard a mewling kitten. That is a definite sign that it is a young animal. I do have an affinity for cats as it is, so I peeked my head over the fence hoping to see someone walking down the street with their new pet. Uhmmmm, not so! I quickly went out front with Madison in tow and we sat in the rocking chair to see what the dealio was. Shortly thereafter, I saw a small fur ball coming down the neighbors driveway. I whistled and "kissed the air" [animal lovers will know what that means] and here came this kitten bounding into our yard and right up to my leg. GEEZ!!! Like I said, word is spreading. I checked with the neighbor to see if perhaps it was his and that was a big negative. I'm sure this guy has a family, since most stray cats aren't friendly at all and don't come running up to you. I've already posted on craigslist in the lost and found, and the pets categories. Jack Hannah -- be aware....I'm trudging into your territory or so it seems!

On another subject, my garden fence/tomato trellises are finished and I've already planted some corn, green beans, peppers and eggplant. My seedlings (as mentioned above) are slowly getting used to being outside and will be planted shortly. I have strawberries and sungold cherry tomatoes coming in the mail and those will get planted as well.

We went to the fair two weeks ago and just who do you think we found there? I hope you're jealous, I was within reach out and grab distance :]
