Introducing some of our wild cats …
August 5, 2014 @ 4:16 pmLast winter, a cat entered our lives – from outside – it found an opening in our crawlspace, and one cold winter night, started mewling at the house crawlspace interface – a piece of plywood – she was violently shaking the plywood as she mewled. Soo – several months later – here we are …
This is momma – she’s showing us how she tells us it’s time to feed her.
And two of her four kittens – the other two are quite shy.
not much new today

More pics to come. Had 3 red, 1 yellow and 2 white blossoms today.
I’m out on the back deck, overlooking the pond, with my laptop, as I type this. There are hummingbirds carrying on, just over an arms reach in front of my laptop’s display, feeding from our brightly colored feeder, among other things.
Over 100 lily pads visible this morning, and a second flower.

June 4, 2014 @ 4:26 pmAnother Lily Pad Count
June 3, 2014 @ 1:21 pm59 water lily pads counted this morning, plus one bud, which for two days now has been half poking out of the water.
Saw under water on the west side of the pond, shoots from new plants, a few inches under the water’s surface.
And saw small bluegills cruising through the sandy spots, about 3″, just above the bottom.
