My wife bought me an embossing press for my ever growing library....3 shelves down 7 shelves, plus two desk tops and several stacks of books to go

There is an empty field across the street from our house....for months I've said that we ought to be doing something about the feral cats....anyway meet Cada and Mtvare

Pickling day....green beans and asparagus done. The garlic is up next and the onions are in due for the morning.

Everybody is adding beautiful photos of nature....well This is the start of my winter garlic garden. Nootka Rose, Elephant Garlic and Transylvania Spicy.

Today I'm planning out the spring/summer garden.

One of the kittens I told my wife not to pick up

Last week my wife saw a kitten in the field across the street from our house. I said "don't pick that cat up, it will never leave."

Two days ago, that kitten and another were in our front yard. I said "don't put out food and water for those cats, they'll never ever leave"

Today we have 2 kittens.
