Let me introduce you to one of my cats.        This is Scaredy Cat.  She came to my house as a small kitten about a year ago after my neighbor passed away.  I inherited a gray and black tabby tom cat with 4 white feet, which I named Socks and a gray female with 3 kittens. …

What a GLORIOUS day it is today (they are all pretty glorious, some just more than others).  I celebrate Earth day everyday but, some only do that today.  Wasn’t it a fabulous weekend?  I hope you got outside and enjoyed the radiant sunshine and luscious greenery.  I had the most wonderful weekend in Crofton, KY…
