So we had a crocheting and knitting workshop about a week ago, led by Max, and for a while we all became possessed by our projects. People have made a lot of interesting hats and scarves and our dinner table is buried under several rolls of yarn and crochet needles.
Possibly the most fantastic creation was this little hat made by Rachel for Voltaire. CUTEST. THING. EVER.
LOL, still frame of video…
That’s right, we still can’t learn our lesson about cats…we are once again a 3 cat household.
Our latest addition is a 5-7 week old black kitten who Gerardo and Michaela dubbed “Voltaire” on their ride back from Hawthorne. Right now he’s feeling quite timid and he spends most of his time trying to hide from everyone and everything, but hopefully he’ll come around soon enough. And then everyone look out because we’re going to have another crazy kitten on our hands, they are, after all, as Rachel put it “a species of their own.”
Update on TTT:
1) Chickens:
The chickens have been eating from the compost bins leading me to believe that composted dirt tastes better than regular dirt. Also, Micky showed me that chickens like to eat weeds. Micky pulled out a giant weed, which I thought was part of the tomato plant, and fed it to the chickens. The chickens have also been burrowing in the dirt for fun. Micky suggested we make them ash baths from future bonfires. P.S. Is Chubb Chubb a boy? See future blog on the “Great Chubb Chubb Mystery”. Newsflash: Chubb Chubb just pooped in laundry room. See attached photo.
2) Compost:
Compost is being eaten by chickens. They seem sad that there isn’t quite as much of it as usual. See above regarding Chickens.
3) Cats:
Mana seems to have hurt her paw. She doesn’t put weight on it when she walks. We are a bit worried, but she is eating and aside from that seems well.
We’ve heard rumor of strange neighborhood cats possibly interested in eating our chickens, but everything seems to be okay so far.
4) Carrots:
Micky pulled out 3 chubby midget carrots from the backyard today. They are just cute enough to eat. Adorable.
Side note: Our apologies, but we will be having a garden extravaganza feast excluding everyone else except Micky, me, and possibly Sunny. Sorry for your jealousy.
Happy Holidays!!!
Love,
Peggy & Micky
