From the Archives: The Old Man in the Garden, 2006

Fleas, like most other insects, live everywhere around us and it’s how we manage our surroundings that helps to control their populations.

My First “Less Adoptable” Kitty

  This is one of those “happily ever after” stories we promised you yesterday. We never knew Sally because she lived with our mom before the world began when we were born. But Cookie and Kelly remembered Sally—that’s how long ago it was! We can’t imagine a kitty who was

Vintage Photo: Supervising the Harvest

From 2008, Cookie, as Garden Goddess, settles in a soft bed of tall grasses, violets and wild strawberries and autumn wildflowers at the edge of my pea bed to enjoy the dappled sun on an August morning and supervise my work. So far that year, the peas had done well,

Outdoor Adventures: 2009

Cat TV, Big Screen Version

After this week, and even on this rainy morning, certain kitties want to visit the yard. It’s my goal some day to at least screen in a porch for them, but I’d love to build a room for them like Chris Davis’s, mentioned at the end of this article. As

My Feline Garden Sprites

I first posted this article in April 2009 as Namir and Cookie and I finished cleaning up the garden for another gardening year and republished it again in 2010 in honor of Peaches 100th birthday, and now in 2011 in honor of Senior Pet Awareness Month. A number of cats

My First “Less Adoptable” Kitty

In this week devoted to “less adoptable pets” I have a story of a deaf kitty who shared my life for 14 years, and she was such a joy to know. One would hardly have known the difference between her and a hearing cat, nor cared! I certainly forgot. I
