Crazy Cat Lady

 Slowly getting my strength back. The newest drug is definitely helping the arrythmia that has plagued me since my 30's. I am so behind with my gardens this season. I need to get started on the vegetable garden.

Kevin had decided that anywhere I dig must be a cat latrine. I don't mind it so much in the flower gardens, but I draw the line in my vegetables! I see lots of netting in my immediate future. Kevin has been a little bit wicked today. He has been climbing the big trees and then looking down and calling out to me. It is highly unlikely that I will attempt a rescue. He got up there and he will get down.

I have yet to locate the new litter of kittens. Marble looks so skinny and follows me around begging for food. Of course, I feed her and supplement the food she gets every evening. Lucy is most definitely pregnant. I will be called a crazy cat lady!

We lived in Albany Georgia in the 80's. There was a notorious Cat Lady that walked the streets there. She would lick her hands and then run them over her face and through her hair until she was shiny with saliva. She chose to "bathe" herself in the most public of places she could find. She liked to do this in view of McDonald's patrons. On the public sidewalk, not in the parking lot. You could call the police, but they rarely bothered to pick her up and try to get her some help, just told her that parking lots were privately owned and to stay on the sidewalk. That would make her a very legitimate Crazy Cat Lady.

Memories lurking in the shadows of my mind tend to jump out at the oddest times!

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

Mulch, Teeth and Steppingstones

  Today is the big day! I will be glued to the dentist chair for an hour while they make a mold of my mouth and then, ultimately my new tooth. I am excited. I won't have the tooth installed today, but I am one step closer to eating popcorn! Why is it that you always want what you can't have. I don't even like popcorn that much, but since I don't have the ability to chomp it up, I want it like nothing I have ever wanted before! This upper garden is trying to kill me! Just when I think I can almost see completion, something happens to put me two steps behind the one step I took. I am praying that I will be able to eke out my last bag of mulch to cover the carboard.  I have since changed my mind several times about what will surround the steppingstones. First, I was going to use gravel with no steppingstones but walked on some of the gravel I have on hand and didn't like the way it felt to my feet. Not my bare feet, mind you, but I could tell there would be a balance i...

Gardens and Cats

  My gout has gone, but the memory stays! Now my neck is bothering me with arthritis. I am sure digging has nothing to do with it. I seem to be in a race to finish my upper garden. Only two bags of mulch remain.  I spread one today and planted two Crepe Myrtle bushes and another cone flower. This one is orange. I already have white and purple. It is safe to say that there is no particular color scheme. Just lots of color. Yesterday I bought 6 shepherd's hooks that I saw on Marketplace. One is already in place on my little deck with a hummingbird feeder that is visible from the window next to my sewing machine. It is on the high end and hopefully out of reach from the cat population. The cat population continues to grow. A new cat showed up last week. A fluffy grayish one. I am pretty sure it is female. She is not as skinny as Mousy Tongue and I fear she will be adding some babies soon. Hard to tell with all that fur, but her belly is certainly bigger than the other two females...
