Most of what we do here revolves around being, useful, practical and functional. For us that also includes happiness and beauty. Cats figure into a large part of the happiness part.

She was befriended and we fixed her up. It turned out that she just loves dogs and thought Beauty, our dog was going to be her best friend. The two now pal around together both inside and out. We had not planned on getting another cat, but she brings so much joy to our dog we just had to. Barncat is a great mouser to boot!
This is the first pepper of the season. Incredibly hot and humid weather for the past week along with yesterday’s downpour has helped along the peppers. We haven’t had much luck with peppers in the past, but hopefully this year will be better. |
