Gidgette’s Gotcha Day
Today is the 10th anniversary of Gidgette’s Gotcha Day. She’s the love of my life. Right now, she snuggled up next to me washing her face like the good little kitty she is.
The First Harvest
My one pot of lettuce was overflowing, so I decided to pull it today. I wish I had taken a picture before I harvested it. It filled an entire colander. I had planned on making a salad plus some wilted lettuce. However, by the time I had cleaned it, there wasn’t much left. Plus it…
Be Sure to Hug Your Kat
Today is International Hug Your Cat Day! I actually got to give Ivory a hug today. She almost never lets me pick her up. Of course, she demanded treats for tolerating me. Gidgette cuddled with me this morning while I was doing the rounds of the interwebs. I didn’t see the kousins today. I will…
Kathryn, Kathryn… How Does Your Garden Grow?
I’ve never been much into gardening. When I lived in S. Korea, I had a bit of an indoor succulent garden. A couple of summers ago, I had a lime basil plant that really thrived. It was an amazing flavor. I put some in strawberries, and made a strawberry shortcake. Last summer, I put in…
Weird Kat Sleeping Position
Gidgette is weird. I caught her sleeping under the pillow. She was nothing but ears and a tail.
Purple
My favorite color is purple. I have my own psychological/color theory why this is. But that’s neither here nor there. Flowers are a bloomin’. I found some incredible purple wildflowers in the park. If anyone knows what they are, leave me a comment. These are a tree. I think they’re pretty common flowering trees. We…
Christmas in the Time of COVID?
I’m at the Bedford Reservation of the Cleveland MetroParks right now. I’m actually just across from Tinker’s Creek Gorge Overlook. I just had to stop and post pictures of this tree I just stumbled across. Somebody hung two Christmas ornaments on a scrawny little pine tree. It’s Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree. It really cheered me…
The End of Winter?
Really Old Man Winter? You just won’t go away. Record cold is hitting North America. It snowed in Cleveland, though not as bad as other places like the northeast. Frost possible in the southeast. I even learned a new weather term, graupel. Today’s forecast high in Cleveland is 48. Average high for today is 68. …
Nature Up Close
Social Distancing at the Park
I went to the Big Creek Reservation of the Clevland MetroParks. It was the first time I’ve been to that particular park. There were ducks. All but one were mallards. And then there were Canada geese. Two of them. With four goslings. The goslings were fuzzy. Cuteness overload! I took so many pictures. Plus I…
