What's the name of the company so we know to not deal with them or at least be forewarned.I paid extra for 6 foot trees and not one was over 3 feet tall. They argue that roots count in the height measurement. Again...WTH?!
Well I had a good start in the morning, we had closed things and put away other things in prep for a good storm heading our way. I got the bid on moving and resetting the greenhouse, I picked about 14 pounds of tomatoes and next I was going to clear the squash plants and get the bed prepped for planting. Then I heard the sound of a lost kitten crying for help. One of the neighbors has an outdoor room that he spends a lot of time in and I could hear the kitten crying from inside the thing. Little thing had a guts to hiss at me when I scooped her up. She's a beautiful calico kitten of 5 weeks or maybe less, her eyes open, but just above the creeping stage. The neighbor doesn't want her, someone dumped her in his tent/thing. So...tiny as she is I went to the local feed store since I knew they had kitten milk replacement and tiny baby bottles. Before I left I bathed her to get rid of the worst of the fleas she was crawling with and gave her to DP to dry off. I came home to find the kitten snuggled next to DP's neck sleeping.
She woke up. We got some milk into her, and given how carefully the kitten did her cleanup after lunch, we think she probably knows how to use a litter box too. DP named her Stormy since she hisses at us from time to time and a storm was blowing in when I found her. We'll be fostering her for a week or two since the friend who is very excited to get her is out of town for a little while.She seems healthy and while she is much too little to be away from her mama, it's giving her a chance to be a house cat rather than a wild cat like I am betting her mama is. The lady who will be taking her recently lost her older dog and cat and just has one 3 legged cat she adores, and will take excellent care of Stormy.
So that was my day, now I need to freeze some tomatoes, I'm going to look up a recipe for tomato bisque.
