Things going on

Thursday night Julie called to tell me to bring the left over dog food to my Mom’s since Sue was over trying to catch a cat that was sitting on her front steps. I got there and my mom, Julie and Sue were walking up and down the street following a cat.

I find out the J and Mom came home to find this cat sitting on her steps, so thinking one of Sue’s got lose they walked her over to Sue’s. Sue looked at the cute little thing and thought it was hers until she went to pick it up and found out it was a mommy that just had kittens. This started a man hunt for the kittens. We walked all over looking for them, then Sue left a cat carrier for the mommy cat to bring her kittens to.

Three days went by no sign of the kitten, but mommy cat stayed in our backyard. After talking with Sue she decided that it would be best to take her in to the shelter before Paul try’s to kill her. Saturday morning Sue came to pick Lily up and take her in to get all her shots, neutered and ready for adoption. Of course by now J has named her Lily, and has asked me to keep her. I have to say she is really smart, acts like a dog, and is really cute. So soon there will be a new addition to my house.

She is able to open mom’s back screen door to let her self in, we showed her the cat carrier and how nice it was in there and she made it her home. She getting all puffed up when Paul comes out side. She is a grey, skinny, female with pretty green eyes. Pictures to come soon.

Last weekend I was full of ambition, and got a ton done around the house. I sanded the bathroom ceiling, then primed and painted it. After that was done I went out and racked the front yard completely. When in back and cleaned out all the edges, bushes and flower areas. I started cleaning up the leaves, and raking the middle of the yard when Julie came to help. We finally decided we should cut down the 6 tress along the back fence.

J and I cut those trees down like normal girls would ;) We started cutting with a small hack saw, when we realized we needed something a little larger. After obtaining several larger saws we started cutting them down again. Since most of the trees lean over the neighbor’s fence we got the Dog lead and hooked it on to the tree as high as we could reach. One of us would cut while the over pulled. Preventing the tree from crashing down on the fence and helping us not to have to saw as much. I now have a pill of trees sitting in my backyard that need to be cut up and gotten rid of.



Sorry for taking so long for the update.... and sorry if it doesn't make any cents. ;)
