CAT

 Introducing "Cat".

It is really pretty!

(We have no idea the gender....)

The internets told Kyle he needs to keep

it in a dog crate for 2 - 4 weeks to let it

get familiar with the location and realize

this is now "home". 

He had been feeding it dog food because

that's what we had.

(It's been living off of rabbit innards/heads

it was digging up at the Sisters, so...)

but yesterday we bought it a bowl and

some cat food.

It was happy!

Originally Kyle put it in the dog crate

we used to pick up the piglets,

surrounded it with hay for insulation

and put in a cardboard box.

It immediately hopped in the box and

he hadn't seen it since.

But the box got wet, then the cat sat on

top of it, and it got all smashed in,

so we bought it a plastic rubbermaid

so it still has a place to get out of the weather,

but it won't get wet or wrecked.

(We also bought some spray paint

to paint it on the outside in case it didn't

want to live in a fishbowl...)

Anyhow.

Hopefully it's happier now.

(Kyle said he just named it Cat because

he fully expects it to just run away

when he finally lets it out.)

Anyhow.

He has been working on the siding

on the house, but took Monday off 

because it was COLD outside.

And now he's at a stopping point because he

needs to put in the attic fan.

We bought one, but it needed the grill

for the front and they didn't have any.

So yesterday we ordered one, it will

be delivered to the house tomorrow.

Meanwhile, today he will be working on 

the watering system for the garden.

There was a little damage over the winter,

so he needed to repair a couple things,

and then reset the drip tape so we can

water all those four 50' rows of PEAS!

(That's a LOT of peas.....)

I see a rocking chair on the porch with big

bowls of peas, shelling for hours.

But that's ok.

Also, peas in the pod, freeze dried are

DELICIOUS!

I'm excited!
