Spring is coming to our backyard

We rented this place in large part because of the huge yard. When paul got here there was nothing growing.

And now things are starting to pop up and out and unfurl:



















We have some backyard friends too. This one lives at the bottom of our stairs.





Meet Shy Guy, our cat. (she's a girl. and she belongs to the neighbors.) liam loves to carry her.


The boys love to feed her. We feed her all our scraps. Like the boys' leftover soggy cereal bits in milk. Crusts of khachapuri (her favorite--she is Georgian, after all). Rice. Cake frosting. Etc. Yesterday i had cooked up some bits of bacon that i found at the market and was saving for something yummy...and luke came in all excited to tell me that they fed Shy Guy a really good meal...my precious bacon! fed to the neighbor's cat! I guess it's a small price to pay for the hours of entertainment she gives them. And doesn't she look content?

  2. Woops, had a spelling mistake, so I deleted that first comment. Don't forget to mention that Shy Guy gets fed from the very best Georgian china! Love the photo of Liam with the cat. Will you email it to me?
