Random Texarkana

 I've been under the weather this week. It didn't really slow me down until yesterday afternoon. 

Today I talked to a friend who innocently asked how the garden was doing. The tomatoes are great--I only have 90 zillion tomato plants. The spinach and lettuce are also thriving. My pepper plants are growing. The cucumbers are flowering. And I discovered something is eating my radishes and strawberries--which are at different parts of the yard. 

Unfortunately, the okra is also growing. Lucky Marty. 

Later, Luna sat in front of the storm door, crying to go outside. I saw what she was alerting to: a brindle-color cottontail. As much as I would love to have let her out to chase the bunny and bring honor to my strawberries, I didn't want to finagle a mangled rabbit out of her jaws. So, the bunny left on its own and Luna pouted. 

The veg garden surrounds the green house.
Most everything is in early stages. 

Bottom right is 8 more tomato plants, top right is okra, top left is strawberries.
The bottom left was supposed to be nothing. I was going to empty that plot and start over. However potatoes which did not grow last year are now cropping up. So, I guess it's a potato patch.

My bathroom has a garden tub. Between Polly and myself, I think we've used it three times. I have too much sewing stuff. Last March, while in Arizona, I borrowed my brother's jig saw with the intention of making this storage space. This past weekend, I made this. Fortunately, we are all meeting up in Florida next month. I'll give the saw back to him then. 

There's about 687 pounds of fabric and notions in plastic
Dollar General bins under that wood.
Eventually, there will be plants atop of that wood.

And finally, brace yourself for kitten cuteness.

For the record, this is Buckaroo's desk. They were napping while he was at work. 

I moved them from the desk. Roosevelt's neck is fine.
His brother (Leon) doesn't weigh enough to pin him down.
