It’s cold outside, so Sneaky has eaten and gone back under the house to wherever she takes refuge (probably in some insulation ripped from ductwork, but I don’t really know). I had Lady out of the cage today until I heard a “thumping” sound from the kitchen. I turned around, … Continue reading →
I’m learning some things I do not like about OS X’s included back up software called Time Machine. If you’re like me, you don’t like to mess with things like this too much, because if they don’t work as expected, you’ve destroyed a perfectly good machine. If they do work … Continue reading →
The crape myrtles had some lovely fall colors earlier this week (before the wind and rain). I thought I’d share a snapshot with you: Save

It’s been a cold, dismal, rainy, glorious week here in Central Texas. I’m sure I’m wrong to enjoy the dreariness and rain, but I do. Here’s a photo of the rain along our north foundation skirt (the house is pier and beam construction about three feet above ground level). We … Continue reading →
Daphne has a clean bill of health and has been free run of all areas of the house the other cats have access to. She’s a delightful kitten. We left her cage up for Lady. When Daphne went for her second kitten shots and her rabies shot, I took Lady … Continue reading →
