New Kitty

Yesterday we got a cat. Why? Well, we're really not sure ourselves. We can try to blame it on Hannah's sister, Nora, but it really is not her fault...at least not entirely. You see, while having dinner on Sunday she mentioned that there was a too-cute-for-his-own-good stray cat at the animal clinic where she works. We had been thinking about getting an outdoor/garage cat at some point and decided to take a trip down to see this guy...knowing in the back of our minds that we would probably end up with him. What we didn't expect was to show up and find him freshly neutered and vaccinated and ready to go that night. So, at 9:45 last night we pulled out of wal-mart after buying cat food and a litter box.

Our frisky feline friend.

Sky is not too sure of him yet...but he sure loves her

We are looking for help in naming him. So far the suggestions are (in no particular order):

- William of Orange

- Milk Dud

- Rusty

- Tangelo

- Symba

Progress on the house remains steady. The lack of photos is because current projects are not all that exciting. Moving electrical wiring is time consuming, but the end result does not look all that different. Thanks to Noel for all his help! I'll post some photos from wall demolition this past weekend sometime later this week.

Today, however, is a beautiful day so I will be working on outdoor projects this afternoon. On the list:

- Move all the lath we removed from the removed walls to the shed.

- Finish constructing compost bin #1.

- Patch in the grass that was removed by the snowplow and deposited elsewhere in the yard.

- Start cleaning up the sheds (anybody want a rusted mixer, old pop-top beer cans, or old bales of blow-in cellulose insulations?)
