Happenings

Not much has happened lately, EXCEPT! My catnip has gotten HUGE!!! So.......

Misty!! Here you go!! *Sniff sniff.* Ooh.

Now let's run before she turns cranky. She's cranky when she's on catnip. Loopy, but cranky.

No!! Chelsea!!  *Rowr! Hissss!!! Rowr!!!!!*

Oh dear....

AHHH!

IwannagodownstairsIwannagodownstairsIwannagodownstairs.

Yeah, let's go outside. (This is a closeup of Chelsea's face, the white is the white stripe going down the middle of her face.)

Let's let the cranky cat be alone.

This is Mama hen. The weird name? She's a good Mama.

The roosters pick on her so we put her in the "Private Pen".

Whatcha lookin' at?

This is the Private Pen. Where you go where no mean roosters can hurt you.

(Narrating Voice) Welcome to Shady Maples! Where you go to be happy!

This is the bedroom! Nice, warm, comfy hay to lay in.

A nice view of the home here.

This is the kitchen. Where you get fed every morning.

This is the view of the yard.

This is the nice sturdy (sort of) ramp to get out.

This how treats come in!

We hope you've enjoyed the tour of Shady Maples. (Normal voice back now.)

Oh! Hi, Napoleon!

The new hay racks we got.

The goat that protects the goats. (It's made of metal.)

Hey Chelsea! Yeah? Let's get some cool shots of you! Okay!!!

Super puppy!!!!

You know what? I'm going to go to the top of the tree! It's about the height of a two and a half story building.

Rick and one of my sons put the ladder on. Thank you!!!

Better get a good grip!!!

Okay, we're getting QUITE high now.

The view so far.

As you can tell from the leaves, it's REALLY windy.

Getting higher now.

The garden. DANG it's getting big!!

My hand's shaking.

Hehehehehe. Really high.

Almost there!

Pull myself up.

I'm there!!

*Whew!*

Hmmm, nice view.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!!!!

Well, climbing?

Oh for Heaven's sakes....

Better hold on to the rope.

Chelsea, leave Bella alone.

Well, better go down now.

Ahh! Solid ground!!!

Hi Bella, enjoying your bath?

No, go away.

Bblthbpgh!

Well, I'm gonna check on Misty.

Misty? Please don't hurt me.

OH MY GOSH!!! What did you DO to him????

We broke up, he deserved it.

Now you know you shouldn't have done that.

                                                              Let me explain who Misty's catnip is.

When Misty's on catnip, she thinks her catnip is another cat named Fred, or sometimes it's Simon, she's got two. Anyway, since she's grouchy when she's on catnip I play along and pretend he's real so she won't try to hurt me.

                                                                             Later....

Okay, his Mom took him home. Now write him a letter saying your sorry.

Hmm, I can't think of anything.

OH FORGET IT ALL!!!!

Misty!! Calm down!!!

Hmm?

Yaaa! Rowr rowr yaaa!

Let's see what you got. Fine.

Dear.....Fred......m-my...lowwe? Oh. Love. Maybe you shouldn't write the letter.

Hahaha! Her handwriting's horrible!!!! Well, she's on catnip.

We've been harvesting from our garden!!! Onions, radishes, potatoes. Plus we've got goat cheese from our goats milk!!
