Forget the meaningless Ides of March, today is the Ides of April. TAX DAY. I’m so glad the feds extended the deadline. Good thing. We’re up to our eyeballs in paperwork (still). Which reminds me of this week’s Find the Kitty:
Sorry posts have been slim. I haven’t been in a gardening or renovating mood just yet. I’m sure it will happen soon. It had BETTER happen soon. I haven’t even ordered garden seeds yet! :-O




:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.

LMAO – now THAT is a classic picture. You couldn’t have timed it any more perfect with that screen and the claw coming out from underneath the monitor.

I see a Livvy paw. Good job of hiding Livvy but you need to get that paw behind the screen too. Hope all of you have a great week end.

I see the kitty!!! I have my seeds but haven’t started them and I’m just not in the mood. 15 last night, more snow in the forecast and I feel as though winter will never end
I really appreciate your coming back to comment on my blog giveaway. I have never won anything in the blogosphere either. I stopped entering contests.
Anyway, the winner to PW Cooks never claimed the prize so to thank you for your comment, I’m offering you either The Settlement Cookbook or The PW Cooks cookbook. Email me with your preference and it will be on it’s way to you.

Blueyes, I’m still stunned that I actually got the shot! She’s a sly one, always shirking back from the camera!

Marg, I think Livvy was humoring me.

Mountain Woman, thanks for your comment! I have a feeling I won’t get to those seeds for another week or two…. snow was forecast here, too. *sigh*
OH MY GOODNESS! I won the cookbook!!! Wahooooo!!! Thank you thank you! I’ll email you my address directly.
