World Wrestling

Barn-E, Stella

I can’t believe Barn-E the cat puts up with this rough play from Stella. No cat claws ever come out.

I do worry that someday Stella will hurt the cat, but so far, she knows how far she can go.

I’ve seen them sleeping in the same vicinity, not together, but close enough. I wonder if they will ever cuddle together.

Barn-E is a tough cat. I have scratches to prove that. I wonder why he’ll use his claws on me, but not the dog.

Right now, everyone is calm. That’s good because I have to catch up on my picture book writing class. The dog/cat wrestling is really distracting.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.

More from the garden

food, gardening

Homegrown tomatoes, m-m good.

If you haven’t grown your own, you’ll just have to go to a farmer’s market or a roadside stand and get some yummy tomatoes. It may be a couple of weeks before the real harvest comes in, but they are well worth the wait.

I bought my plants with a couple of blossoms on, so they had a head start. I won’t be canning any. I just like to munch them fresh off the vine.

A garden can be in a flowerpot so maybe next season you’ll grow your own tomato plant. Harvesting from there is easy.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

What’s growing?

food, gardening

My little garden has a couple of big plants.

Zucchini fried in a bit of butter was just right for supper.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Stella’s all tied up

Stella

My dog got a little tangled up…okay, I helped some.

Stella had half the old towel over her body and I flipped more over her.

Right now she’s upstairs, where she’s not supposed to be.

I guess I better get her down. …… Wait a minute! Stella just followed Barn-E the cat back downstairs. That saved me some steps.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A match between Car-E and Stella

Car-E, Stella

A lot of this match took place before I could grab my phone to record it.

I never thought Car-E would play with Stella, but he has relented and taken on the puppy.

The first time Car-E met Stella he used his claws to tell her to back off. Car-E never used his claws in this playful match.

Life is better here now that Car-E accepts Stella as a roommate.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
