I think my tomatoes survived after all the wind yesterday.  I staked and propped and tied and inspected.  Boy-do I have tomatoes (yeah, I'm bragging).  I talked with my brother and he said his green thumb is lost this year.  He keeps having to replant, and I'm harvesting!   I'm gonna have to make the drive(he lives about 20 miles from me)  to see his garden-he's planted a LOT!  With the price of groceries-I told my boss I was thinking of plowing up my whole back yard and planting a BIG garden.  He said we'd have another hurricane. Scratch that. 

Dog and cats are doing fine.  They get along so good now.  The kittens try to steal Peanut's dog toys, and he gets this frustated, "What?!?" look on his face, but he doesn't hurt them.  And those cats are EVERYWHERE!  I turned on the sprinkler in the beans and cats ran out .  I have a bird feeder tray on the ground, and they sit in it waiting-Like the birds are really gonna come while they're there.  They're climbing trees (somethimes too high), and still climb the umbrella, and they hide in the flowers.  My only fear, is now they've learned the "pet door", so they can go in and out when they want-and they usually won't go outside unless I'm out there-BUT- at night-when the moths and other flying bugs come out, they want outside and run from me when I want to bring them in.  Last week I had a very large owl sitiing in a pine tree-and I've lost kittens to owls before.  I don't like that. But the little devils hide from me in the dark!

Re-potting house plants this weekend-       Later Gators!
