Peeka's 1st Birthday


I can't believe a whole month whizzed by already since my last post!  Where does the time go?

Since I last posted, Peeka celebrated her very first birthday on April 21st.
We know this is her exact birthday cuz that's what it said on her adoption records.
We opened up a can of soft food and stuck a candle in it.  She was curious about the flame but not all that excited about her birthday "cake".  Weeners helped her eat it.




We have been seeing a LOT of Weeners' boyfriend these days.  This is pretty much what we see looking in our back door almost every day now.  He just sits there waiting for someone to notice  him.


Sometimes he comes into the house and we give him treats.



But he's usually too nervous to stay very long.

As you can see, he got himself a very sophisticated haircut!!
Perhaps he did it for Weeners, but she didn't seem too impressed by it.


Now he just looks handsomely ugly and Peeka tells him so.

"you're still ugly"


Anyway, he seems to be growing on us; we always enjoy his visits.

Apparently we are "cat magnets" cuz here is another face that we see every now and then.


This one doesn't come around very often, but just stops by to say 'hi' once in a while.

Hm....that makes me wonder.....whatever happened to that white cat that used to come around?

Besides being hospitable to all the cats in the neighborhood, I'm starting to get busy playing in the dirt.  We went ahead and put up the greenhouse, which we learned was ripped, so it's being held together with quilting pins in some areas.  I think after this year we will probably have to throw it out.  Anyhoo, a lady from church gave me a bunch of onions and the beds in the greenhouse were the only ones that were ready for planting in, so I put the onions in the greenhouse.


I also transplanted all my tomato plants into bigger pots, but turned out to be 3 pots short, so I put 3 tomato plants in the greenhouse too.



The other 27 tomato plants are occupying my dining table which makes it easier to "harden" them when it's nice enough outside.  I sprayed them with cayenne water to keep Peeka from eating them.  So far she is leaving them alone. 

Sorry I don't have anything more exciting to tell ya.  
As for moving to Duluth, it ain't gonna happen.
The next potential is South Bend, IN.
We'll see how that one goes.
I certainly don't mind staying here either, which also could happen.

In a couple weeks we are planning to take a road trip to Dawson City, so maybe I will have something exciting to post about then.
Until then......adieu.
