"I'm the puss in boots!" And yes, I do hear Antonio Banderas's voice saying that.

Puss in Boots in Shrek...one of my all time favorite animated characters (and Antonio ain't bad either, lol)!

My Opie cat looks like him (minus the clothing of course).

X2! Totally my favorite character from that franchise as well. I could listen to his voice all day.

You mean you let him have a sword???

You mean you let him have a sword???

I warned him, "you'll put your eye out kid", but he just swiped at me.

 

[bruceha2000]

And that is why you are all bones! He's good with that thing.

I don't know why i keep imagining Antonio without clothes. It's your fault, N F C!

Baby has a name - the kids have settled on Blackbird (keeping DS's 'Blackie' and in memory of Squeaky Bird). It remains very sweet and was sort of unimpressed with a new friend, though it doesn't yell piteously anymore, so it must enjoy the company at least.

Don't let the sleepy eye fool you - the new chick is wild and fiesty! It has obviously imprinted on Blackbird rather than on us. But we'll handle it and see if we can tame it down. Blackbird still enjoys cuddles and face tickles at least.

Good Evening Friends and congratulations to those sporting new ‘Project Manager’ banners; they are very eye catching and impressive

Posting in the evening for a change. Mainly because I was keen to get outside this morning on such a beautiful day and I had a lot planned.

I will skip past the boring stuff like washing and grocery shopping, after which I mowed the lawns which I do not mind so much and then the fun stuff started.

First was to pop around to my favourite plant person in town and pick up Audrey and friends.

Then home to move the compost bin from under the house to the back corner of the garden because the compost bin was 1. In the wrong place and 2. Where I wanted to put Audrey. [I have no idea why hubby thought under the house would be a good place to put a compost bin ]. PS. The compost bin was full so while I nonchalantly typed "move the compost bin" like it is easy .. it most definitely was not and

Cleaned up Audrey’s area and potted her. Please excuse the dirty pond in the background, it rained after we started setting it up and of course, it is not ready yet:

Then potted the purple elephant ear [which I had ordered] and a bonus [smaller black pot] which my plant dude gave me because I would not let him give me change from the $20 I gave him. As ‘Pinkie’ was not planned, I did not have a big pot and she will have to live in this one for now. Also, as she was literally dug out of the ground and handed to me while I was there, not sure how she will do. Luckily, it is only a 5min drive home and we potted her ASAP; hence not the best pot:

[In case anyone is curious, those are empty peanut shells which I use for mulch. I do not, however, eat all the peanuts; our local hardware sells them in bags. Cheap and effective.

Just sharing some pictures of underneath the house which I have been chipping away at .. getting rid of all the empty cartons and rubbish that was laying around everywhere and turning it into my tropical oasis and green frog haven. I was so worried about my tree fern which was stuck in the hot container for over a week when I took the chance of shipping it up. It dropped down to two branches and it was touch and go for a while but as you can see, it recovered and is loving the climate!
