Pepper

Failure to Post

That's exactly what I'm suffering from a failure to post and regularly.  I just noticed it's been awhile since I've updated.


I've been busy writing content for the 60 Day Bird Journal Challenge, and for Almost Stitched newsletter series (24 newsletters plus 6 bonus surprises) that I forget that others cannot read my mind.

So here's a photo of Pepper, our oldest cat, sporting some attitude while sitting atop a stitched story I wrote up yesterday with my sewing machine.  In between bouts of stitching and writing I've been dodging rain storms trying to get the raised beds planted.

Right now I'm at 50% or so completion and I have to say it's looking good.  John brought one of the porch chairs out to the garden area so that I can sit and watch the birds, butterflies, bees, and paint, sketch, and write unto my hearts content.

Oliver Files Week Six - I Think


His favorite place in the house is the family room surrounded by his toys and with Angel of course.


Here he is still sorta damp after his walk in the pouring down rain.  I love his coat, like Angels it dries and very quickly.


We're still learning to not pick on Pepper, Thomas can hold his own and for the most part Oliver is scared of Thomas.


He matches the rug and quite well, don't you think!


My princess, Angel.


Last but not least, Thomas who still refuses to hang out in the family room since Oliver arrived, but it's only been six weeks and he's finally coming into the kitchen again.
