Thursday's this and that

Your cat will never threaten your popularity by barking at three in the morning.  He won't attack the mailman or eat the drapes, although he may climb the drapes to see how the room looks from the ceiling.  ~Helen Powers

   

Life continues to be interesting with two kitties in the

house.  I have the spray bottle in reach at all times.  For such

a moment as the quote above describes.  Actually, Stormy has

outgrown such shenanigans, but the kitten we call Peanut

is just getting warmed up.

Stormy and Peanut get along really well, much to my

surprise.  They love to wrestle and play together.  This is

good exercise for Stormy who, prior to Peanut coming to

live with us, was getting fat and lazy.  The outside kitties have

been trying to cope with the heat and we keep fresh water out 

every day which they like.  Truman, who is in the first photo

with Peanut and Stormy, is coming around and will now

let us touch him.  I hope he will get tame enough for us to

find a home for him and his sister.

I have one bit of exciting news to share.  We got our new

 shingles on today.  We went with black and it looks great.  

The color isn't stark black and, with the sun shining on it, it 

really looks more like a dark gray.  I didn't think they would

 do this until cooler weather, but they called this week and 

said they would go ahead and get the work done.  It feels 

so good to get one item crossed off the list!  Up next, 

the bathroom project, when the weather is much cooler, that is.

We're hoping for a little rain this week and a cooling of

temperatures.  I'll be ready to dance in the rain, if it happens.

Until next time...
