– Cats outside! Birdy, who has had a (literally) sheltered kittenhood, took some time to get used to being outside. The grass is just so grassy, and there are things that move and wind that blows. She’s got the hang of it now, though, and it seems like she’s already learned to stand still while I put her harness on. Annoyingly, Beany went up the tree this afternoon, and she made it down on her own, but she managed to leave her harness up the branches somewhere. Very clever, Beany, except that you don’t get to go outside without it.
– I’ve been saying for the last three months that I really need to mop my floors (whoops, did I just admit how long I go between mopping the floor?). I finally got around to doing the kitchen floor on Friday, and while I was scrubbing away, I was thinking about how great it would be to have two mops and two pairs of mop shoes. It always seems that by the time I get to the second half of my house, the cleaning implements are no longer so clean themselves and do a poorer job. (Maybe if I mopped a bit more often that wouldn’t be a prob– nah, that’d never work.) Two mops, two pairs of mop shoes, and a really nice mop bucket. I have big dreams.
– I’d also really like a push broom. Oh man, imagine all the stuff I could sweep outside! My half birthday is coming up this month…
– I added new photos to my Garden 2010 flickr set. It’s starting to hit its stride. The veggies are still small, but they’re past that ‘brand new’ stage, and the perennials are crazy big. I think the previous owners of this house must have put in the lilies and irises the spring before I moved in, because they used to fill just a tiny corner of the back yard. In the past few years, I’ve split them multiple times and transplanted them in other parts of the garden, and they’ve filled in the space like it’s their job. Which is it, I suppose.
