I am now working on my gardens. The first garden is the herb/flower garden. The irises are getting ready to bloom and the seeds are sown.

Missy can't believe her eyes!

Max loves the new window. He thinks I bought it for him.

Today was an exciting day for me. I entered a contest posted by Union Square Press and won! The big question was about the San Francisco Chronicle. The question was what murder started that paper's fame? The answer was Abraham Lincoln, they wrote about it before any other paper at that time in 1865. Yeah me!

I have started planting my window boxes. We can't plant a lot because we still have frost at night sporadically.

My rhodies are in bloom! Spring made it to Vermont






So this is the new kitchen garden window. It is in and needs a good painting. I am excited.

So I have two beautiful cats that I adore that are both rescued cats. The oldest is Max, he is an orange tabby. He adores me. He will sit and just stare at me for hours. He puts his little arm around me. Sits as close to me as humanly possible. When allowed he will live on top of me. My younger cat is Missy who is a tuxedo cat. She is beautiful, fun loving, loves her toys and communicates very well. Max is jealous of her and won't let her near me when I am sitting on the couch. That is his territory and he is the alpha cat. Cliff is very jealous of Max. At times he can't stay in the living when Max is there, has a fit and goes to bed. I think Cliff is old enough to know the difference between an animal's attention and his.
