How many you got now?
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you do any garage saling this weekend? Find some treasures?
It was drizzly and cold this weekend, so no yard sales in sight.
Oh well...the summer is young!
Kittehs are doing well. The group that’s allowed outside have been antsy since I’ve been keeping them in while it’s so hot would have let them out today but the two young mourning doves have left the nest. They’re still hanging out in the dogwood just off our deck and make a bit of racket when they flutter from limb to limb. That would attract the cats and those cute babies would be snacks.
So they stayed inside another day.
We’re still at 35 kittehs and pray the number doesn’t increase. These furry heatherns are more than enough of a handful. LOL!
O no, I hope she will be ok...
Allergist appt tomorrow then plenty of work.
That’s beautiful!
Great post, galz! I have always wanted to know their stories!
Howdy, radu! (((hugs)))
Hope you had a lovely day today! Are all the kittehs well and feisty?
Howdy, LUV!
Been a decent day. It was comfortable enough to take Aunt Clara outside to sit and visit a while. Haven’t been able to do that very often this summer and she enjoys getting out.
Kittehs are surprisingly quiet at the moment. I reckon that means they’ll all wake up all at once and go wild before long. LOL!
Did you have a good day? Still roasting over there?
Yes, it’s roasting. Too hot to stay out for more than a couple of minutes without feeling like you just walked through the doors of hell.
Glad you had a nice day and that Clara could go out for a bit. Being cooped up like that has to be hard on anyone!
My day was good. Easy. The best kind! :) The two-hour nap didn’t hurt. heehee
That’s how it’s been here the past couple of weeks and will be again the rest of this week at least. We got the one day of relief and it’s back again tomorrow. UGH!
I forgot to mention the little bit of excitement this morning. As I was getting ready to go to bed, I looked out the kitchen window as one of the mourning doves landed on the deck railing. I thought it was one of the babies and decided to see how it would react if I went outside.
I slowly opened the back door and it didn’t flinch so I slowly walked towards it, talking to it as I’ve been doing all along. By the time I was about 4 feet away, I realized it wasn’t a baby - - it was Momma. And she was just sitting there looking at me and bobbing her head a little. I guess she’s figured out I’m not a threat.
I stayed out there a few minutes, then came back inside to head to bed. As I looked out the window one last time, Daddy dove arrived to feed the kiddos and Momma flew off.
I’ll miss those sweet birds once they take off.
Ooooo....that’s great that the doves feel safe with you around. I’m really surprised the kitties haven’t harassed them, though! They are pretty easy targets since they aren’t the fastest or the smartest birds on the branch. LOL!
The cats have been inside during all the hot weather we’ve had, otherwise those babies would have been snacks by now.
I normally would have let them outside today, since it was comfy enough, but I kept them in to keep those cute babies safe.
They’ll head out soon so when the next cooler spell gets here, the cats should be able to go out.
I guess there has been one advantage to the hot weather then! God protects his own. :)
One of the FEW advantages to it being so hot. LOL!
The beans have enjoyed the heat along with the rain we’ve had the past week. They almost doubled in height and are beautifully bushy. ‘Bout time for them to flower now.
Getting a little rain right now. I made a Wal Mart run for a few items we needed and just did beat the rain home.
Good evening, Pro...heroes all!!
I just finished putting a bedside table together. One more job scratched off the list.
Answered!
Bravo that the beans are thriving now! Hate to see the farmer work so hard and lose a crop! It’s disheartening.
I hope the rain was a refreshing one and not a steamy one.
We’ve been lucky in not losing a crop but have had a couple of low-yield years.
It’s cool enough tonight that it isn’t steamy outside but the humidity is noticeably higher than it was this afternoon. It’s been a light rain - still falling - and that’s the best kind. Soaking with no runoff.
There are a lot of farmers in our county and I’d say all are breathing a sigh of relief the past week. We’ve been on the brink April, May, and June and it’s kinda nice to not hold our breath for a while. LOL
