Three little kittens
I found this picture this morning, I took it about 3 weeks ago. They had been sleeping until the flash went off. If you know me, you know I am not a cat person...they are ok, but I would rather have them outside. These are Maggie's kittens that the kids are keeping...why inside you ask? Well...
As you know we had a litter of puppies at the same time...guardian dog puppies. And what do guardian dogs do?....they guard. They thought they were doing a good thing, they took them from the porch and put them in a more secure place...under the shed. It is a very defensible position, no one could get under there. The problem was that the kittens never made it out. The other litter of kittens were 4 weeks younger and didn't make it very long being away from their mother. We didn't realize what was happening until all of them were gone. I saved one of these little guys when I saw it happen, he was all slimy from being licked so much. So in the interest of not having a mutiny in my house I have allowed them to have the kittens in the house just until they are old enough to protect themselves from the puppies...or until the puppies stay in the fence.
Morgan loves her cats and they love her. I find it amazing that this kitten likes to perch on her shoulder like this.
I realized I really don't have anymore pictures to post. It is really sad all of the things we do here that are no longer immortalized in digital format. While we were building the house and starting the farm I always had my blackberry in my pocket and was easily able to take pictures at anytime. Last year I downsized my cell bill and went from the smartphone to the basic phone. The cameras on those really aren't very good, no zoom. So I have decided to dig out the old Blackberry and charge it up and use it as a camera...it easily fits in my pocket and I can snap all those pictures that I haven't been getting.
Today is one of those days where I have so many things that I should be getting done and I can't decide which is more important. I just got back in from putting the cow and the calves back in the pasture...they were out of grass and took a wander again...just up the driveway a bit. So I need to move the electric and check that fenceline. Since it isn't raining again I could mow some grass, or I could put up the chicken fence. I should also be working with the kids on their school work and the storage room needs to be reorganized and cleaned again. Speaking of cleaning I have laundry to do also and the bathroom closet could use some reordering. I wonder just how much of this I can actually get accomplished today before making dinner and leaving for church this evening?
