There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.

The Fat Cats Neighbourhood Adventure

Raven (aka the fat cat because he weighs almost 20 lbs) decided to have himself an adventure the other day. He is entirely an indoor cat so I have no idea what possessed him to want to take a jaunt outdoors but he waddled out the door none the less.

He then spent the rest of the day taunting us by walking by the open windows and meowing so that we would come look for him. Of course we never found him on these occasions but I am sure he was close by laughing at us.

He finally decided to come home just after it got dark and the temperature dropped. I am sure than main reason for his reappearance was his desire to have food served to him since he is not agile enough to catch his own dinner.

Of course, he could not just come to the door and meow to be let in. No he made CityRat come out to retrieve him from his hiding spot beneath the outdoor bar. Not the easiest place to get a fat cat out of. At least I didn't have to be the one too pull him out. I still bear the scars from the last retrieval attempt.

Plants, and gardens in the Bubbledom

So we've been busy here in the Bubbledom, digging up overgrown flower beds, widening other beds for vegetables, and basically getting the yard cleaned up so we can use it.

The beds in the front yard have been planted with packs of wildflowers, and the other random bed in the middle of the front lawn has been seeded with grass seed. I know, not very homesteader like, but we just moved into the place, and it's a rental, so we have to take things slowly here in regards to taking over the property with the way we'd rather have it. Savannah has also added some hanging pots with Geraniums up on the front steps, which make the place look a little more cheery too.

The back yard has had our composter added to it, the rain barrel moved behind the shed (although the downspout hasn't been completely moved yet�.which caused a small basement flood one day), and the bed behind the shed (hey, I'm a poet, and don't know it) has been widened to at least twice what it was. We also planted a raspberry bush down near the back of the yard, and a rhubarb plant up closed to the house. In one of the planters that was left behind I've discovered that it�s been planted with chives, so we now have fresh chives in a pot out back.

On the downside of the Bubbledom, the upstairs washroom floor is soggy, and we�re patiently waiting for it to dry out so we can fix it up. That and we're still getting organized and unpacked from moving here last February, so we�re always busy busy busy!

On a side note, the site will be going through some changes in the next little while, please bear with me as i get everything sorted out.
