About carolyncat353

56 years old-Involved in gardening since very young.  My grandfather farmed 2 acres of every vegetable imaginable, along with fruit trees, nut trees and flowers.  Summers were spent harvesting, canning and freezing vegetables.  Although I live in a town environment, I still have a vegetable garden and lots of plants and flowers.

I have one son  who is in the military.  Recently ended up with one grandog and 1 cat.  I'm Office Mangler (no misspell) for a Sheet Metal shop for the last 20 years, and it's getting old!  Anyway, I have a few friends that are gardeners, but most just watch.  Spending time in my gardens and with my animals is my therapy-I just don't have enough of it!

Missing Cat
This morning early my neighbor called me and asked if Motley had come home last night.  No, I hadn't seen or heard her.  Motley would jump up on their window sill late at night when the light was on to catch bugs & geckos.  She said around 1 this mor...
