Cats Feeling Guilty?

I was just out at the woodshed resupplying the porch and look what I found on my chopping block. It's a freshly killed mole left behind by one or both of our two worthless cats.

I think it's a peace offering.

Why worthless? Well, the first thing you see when you drive up to our place is a multitude of molehills. And no, I am not making a mountain out of this. The place is a mess! The moles are taking over and that's the cats' job. That's the only reason we keep them around. They used to do a good job, but not lately.

I'd love to get rid of these two freeloaders but Joyce would have a fit. And leaving me this measly little varmint won't put them back in my good graces. Maybe ten more and I'll think about it.

A Resemblance?

Earlier today I posted a picture of our two granddaughters. It was an iPhone shot their mother sent me. They have such great smiles. But our youngest granddaughter, Kali seems to ALWAYS smile. But as I got to looking at it I was reminded of something. Couldn't quite remember what until my sister commented that Kali looks like an Orchard. Then I remembered.

On the wall in our bedroom is a print of a picture I took back in 1980. The image on the left is Kali, now six months old. The image on the right is our son, Jesse taken in 1980 when he was about the same age.

Any resemblance? Sort of.

Kali And Kira

Why yes, we do have the two cutest granddaughters in the world. Thanks for noticing.

Both have such great smiles and laughs. But Kali, our youngest seems to ALWAYS smile. It's kinda weird, frankly. She has to be the happiest person we know.

Hope it's infectious.

No More Antlers

A sure sign that spring is almost here. The bull elk that have been hanging around the past couple of weeks showed up again this morning. But something was missing from this big guy. His antlers have dropped. Happens around this time every year.

Now I have to get out there and see if I can find them before the grass and weeds start growing and cover them up.
