Livvy and Her Teddy

Rebecca — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:19:07 +0000

It’s been raining buckets lately so we’ve been unable to continue our work on the gardens. We HAVE been hacking away at the weeds, though! The progress is very good, but I can’t get photos because… it’s raining. The yard is looking like Brazil, my son says. All this rain inspires the plants to grow amazingly large and full. Let’s hope we can stave off the Amazon River this year… I’m praying no more of those Hundred Year Floods. We’ve had our quota for the next 800 years, I’d say.

Because I am photo-less, I’ll treat you to a cute little video of Livvy and her Teddy. Whenever Livvy is feeling grouchy and wants to attack our feet, we stick Teddy under her nose. She can take out her frustrations on him. And she does.

Find the Kitty: Yew Mews

My yews are, um, a BIT overgrown. My excuse is that it’s been raining cats and dogs and we haven’t had a chance to clip them. but the real reason is that I’m TERRIBLE at pruning shrubs. I leave the job to the husband, but lately he’s been working 6 to 7 days a week. The extra dough is so very nice, but the yard is a disaster, lol.

ANYWAY… can you find the kitty?

The princess wants fuds.

Have a great weekend!

She’s a Maniac

I really dread taking Livvy outside. She’s an absolute maniac. But she begs and whines and BEGS and WHINES. Finally, I succumb. Why oh why do I acquiesce every single time?!

Maybe it’s because she does this.

Boy, she is cute when she does that! She’s like a little kid– adorable. zany. CRAZY.

Find the Kitty Friday: It’s In the Bag!

There’s nothing Livvy likes better than when we rip the house apart, rearranging furniture or pulling pieces out to dust or vacuum. She zips around the house, finding all sorts of new things to do and explore.

She also loves it when we get a new package. She’s like a little kid! We throw the packaging material for her to wrastle and wrangle through.

She’s in her glory.

Gotta love kitties.

Happy weekend, friends!

Cuteness Overload Friday

Rebecca — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:30:29 +0000

Oh no! It’s Friday! My day got started so quickly that I plumb fergot about Find the Kitty Friday. I apologize to Livvy’s adoring fans.

Well, I haven’t had much time to hash through Livvy’s photo archives. I was going to upload an old video I found of her when she was a kitten (SQUEEEE!!) but I never got the time. Maybe next week.

But for this week, I do still have a bit of Livvy Cuteness.

She’s on the tablecloth, however. >:( I don’t like her doing that. But who can resist such adorable charms?

Well, this weekend looks to be another full one. Spring is on the way. We have a slew of activities planned, gearing up for the good weather. What do you have planned now that the weather is turning nicer? Gardening? House cleaning? beginner guitar lessons? Taking photos of your adorable kittehs?

Have a great weekend, friends.

Meanwhile, Back At the Ranch….

Find the Kitty Friday, Filed Edition

Rebecca — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:28:01 +0000

I’ve been ripping the house apart, organizing papers and receipts and charts and documents in preparation for taxes. Good Lord, help me. I hate this time of year. I am the kind of person who loathes balancing the checkbook, let alone wrangling with receipts and tables and etc. Is it any wonder that I am in favor of a flat tax?!

So here come Livvy to provide a little entertainment for her hassled mommeh. Can you find the kitty?

Well? Did you spot her? The photo is a little blurry (taken with cell phone camera). Maybe this photo will help you.

I’ve actually found some pretty amazing ~~junk~~ things in some of my boxes. I have a lot of my grandmother’s old stuff. I also collect old toys. Hey, you never know if that beautiful bronze duncan raptor will be worth a fortune someday.

All right, enough entertainment. Back I go to the paperwork.
