A late good morning everyone.

I should be listing 11 new wood burning signs on the Etsy page by the weekend. I hope you folks like them, or better yet buy one.

I also created a Facebook page too.

Indeed they are. I’m a sucker for black cats. Here is my monster cat Bocephus not letting me get any work done the other day. All mine are tuxedo/maincoon mixes. He’s my boy. About 25 lbs

Afternoon folks

Squirrels strip off most of my pears and apples before they get ripe, some they just throw on the ground. I'm looking at one of these new A18 traps as I can't be watching the trees all the time.

Pricey, but might be worth it.

Love them black / black & white cats. I had two mostly black cats that I raised in MN and I loved them a bunch. Miss them every day. Of course I have three cats now a partial mainecoone orange and white long haired male and two female torties.

I've heard that torties can be very mischievous !

They are definitely the strangest cats I've ever had any experience with, but I love em just the same. Both are super nervous cats and both will back up to something and do a little butt wiggle dance when they're nervous. Very strange but amusing to see.

The losses are hard on the gardener. I'm picking grapes today and it's probably my best crop ever. Usually I can't keep them on the vine this long because of raccoons which makes the wine more acidic and less flavorable. I've been trapping raccoons all year and think I have reduced the numbers enough that they have left the grapes alone.

One of ours.

My son's cat. Was my father's cat, but when Dad went into assisted living, my son offered to take the cat. Dad is in FL, but my son lives in ATL. Cat is an old boy that wandered up to my folks place years ago and they took him in as a garage cat (forget which, but he has one of the transferable cat diseases and my parents had other cats inside) My son keeps him indoors at his place.

I was able to spend quite a bit of time with Annette on my mancation.
Yesterday, I ran into a photo of her when she was about 5 years old. (she's 12 now)

Edit: Our cat adopted us 12 years ago when we found it as an alley kitten living in our 3 seasons room. His name is Benaiah. Named after Benaiah, King David’s Commander of his elite “Mighty Men of Valor” and ranked as the #2 mightiest man under David’s command.

Our newly adopted dog “Chip”. He came with that name. We’ve had him a few months now. He’s part Beagle, part pit-bull or a “Beagle-bull”.

What a handsome, dynamic pair !

My wife was not thrilled that I taught the dog to chase the cat upon the command “Get the _____”. Now they are friends and it’s a game. Not unusual for the cat to smack the dog with open claws and start the chase. Cat wasn’t always a willing participant.

Call me if you want a cat or two.

Cats should not be forced on people ! My sympathies ... maybe .... kinda.

This is our other boy. He's 14. This pic was taken just this week.

At this point in my life, I view cats like kids. They are great.....when they belong to other people.
