Natasha is showing the chosen method of getting down off of the catpost. (look closely, and you can see Louis' paw about to nail little Natasha.)
We got collars for the kitties. We made a mistake of getting Natasha a pink collar, and Louis a red one. So it is still hard at times to tell them apart.

We couldn't choose between the shots, so here is another one!

The momma deer and her twins surprised me today while I was mowing...

Little Louis not to sure about the catnip bubbles.

Little Louis is enjoying the perks of having the latest Harry Potter book delivered.

While Natasha is enjoying the fork I dropped on the floor.

Great sunrise this morning!

There are at least 3 fawns hanging around. There is this one. Who decided to hang out near the firewood I was moving, causing me to wait to move it... yup, it is really the the deer's property!
Then there are the twins. They came by and waited in front of our house for about 5 min for their mom to show up. (Natasha was very interested in watching them!) Later we saw the twins running and jumping in circles in the yard, Guess they approve of the mowing.

Louis (front) is a laid back kitty. Every once in a great while Natasha (back) will assist him in resting. (this of course is when they are not galloping thru the house like a herd of wild horses attacking eachother...)

When Louis is resting Natasha has a few favorite things to do. One of her favorite things to do is rush to the toilet after it is flushed to watch the water.

Another of her other favorite things to do is to attack the tv in the bedroom when Mariners baseball is on.

There have been alot of dragon flies lately.
Below was one of the largest dragon flies I saw.

We saw this duck family on the other side of the loop we live on.
The babies are sooo cute!

Natasha (back) and Louis (front) are enjoying watching a bug on the window.

Suzi got her stitches out! I can't imagine how awful that must have felt, what with all the nerves and such. The metal hook of the bungee cord went under her nail. She had 5 stitches, and the Dr removed part of her nail to access the cut. She went back to work today.


While it was sensitive to bumps etc, we looked for a finger splint. We went to 2 stores with no luck. The splints we found covered the whole finger. So we fashioned one out of a disposable baby spoon.

I finally got a shot of this cool looking bird. It has been hanging out for a couple of days now.

We had to laugh. The kitties were taking turns cleaning Ginger's face, intluding her eye cruddies.

Both Ginger and Samantha are so very tolerant of the kitties!

Had a great sun rise this morning!

Little Louis was having trouble getting up the cat post we made out of a tree, so we are making one out of dimensional lumber that will be covered all in carpet. We are not done yet, but the kitties are having fun playing king of the hill with the top of the post, so we are waiting to put the top platform on.


You can tell who is on top by how they sit... Loius choses the draping technique,
While Natasha prefers to perch on the post.
