Overgrown

 


Backyard has become a jungle.


At least I got part of it mowed.   

I used the weed eater in the cat yard too.  It runs but the auto line feed doesn't work anymore and often the line gets used up in under five minutes.  I'm looking for a lightweight battery powered one.  It'[s almost yard sale season.

After I got the cat yard done, I sat out in the driveway in my chair for hours enjoying the sun.  It was in the 60's with beautiful blue sky.   It felt pleasantly warm, as if it were 75 or more degrees.  That's what living waterlogged in the gray for months does to perception.  We are supposed to break the 70 degree mark one week from Sunday.  I'm keeping track!  And looking forward to it.  Today, clouds most of the day.  Tomorrow, rain.   

Don't have to check under the long hair of Chaos, the home invader, to know he's an unfixed male.  The cat yard litterbox he is using reeks like an unfixed boy.   Neighbor says she'll help me catch him tomorrow.  Hope to get him fixed Monday or Tuesday.   One of the two neighbors behind me said they've seen the long hair black around but don't know if he belongs anywhere.  Unfixed boys can roam a long way looking for females.   Best I can do for him is get him fixed and vaccinated.  

Look at best friends Nemo and Huckleberry!  How they love one another.  They're both old.


Neighbors next door are busy moving.   I haven't seen her in awhile as she is mostly over at her new place or moving things there.   As for the man of the pair, he's got the motor home back out front.   I still don't know if he's moving in the motor home to Georgia or applying to get in an RV park around here somewhere.  

The Lebanon lady who feeds cats everywhere is moving too. Her mom's house finally sold to flippers I guess and she and her brother are buying a mobile home from some friends of hers just out of town.  The friends have to move first and move out their cows, goats, the dogs they breed for $ and their unfixed cats too.  The property looks like a junkyard, to be honest.   I guess the price was right.    Staying out of it.  Don't want to end up the free clean up crew for more unfixed cats from more negligent owners.  

It's almost summer and time off time!

    1. Yeah maybe tomorrow. he's really happy in the cat yard. He's taken over the little cat house structure out there, loves the cozy blankees. I was going to put out a trap laden in tuna, held open by my remote control and watch it with a cheapo baby cam. However, the sender unit for the remote wasn't charged. So...tomorrow.

  3. Can’t remember if I commented before, but in my experience, the feed on weed eaters is always getting messed up. Good luck with it.

The Usual Chaos

 Just the usual chaos here yesterday. I drove Mister Calm, from the trailer park, to the Salem clinic.   I had two spots but the teacher aft...
