Sylvie Surgery Update
It has been a while since I updated. Life got busy and Sylvie got better! Probably my last update because life gets busy and the holidays are almost here. Which means I will forget.
I've included some pictures. The first is her curled up on a blanket on my lap. (1/5)

Help Minerva Heal: Support Her Urgent Treatment
My husband and I returned from a weekend getaway on September 7th and found our sweet girl, Minerva, with a swollen eye and severe nasal congestion. After a week, Minnie began bleeding from her nose incessantly. Last night, she began to bleed from her eye and has swollen bulge at the bridge of her nose. We rushed her to our vet and Minnie's doctor has proposed X-rays and other treatments to determine what is causing her distress and, hopefully, get her to recover.

Greenhouse and Roman tunic
So, as promised, no new pictures of the greenhouse, but the outside has been fully siliconed! So as proof to the weather as it will be. Only thing left is to get and install some sort of hook system to hold all my hand tools and move them in! (1/3)
