We had an honest to goodness thunderstorm Sunday night. Dumped a couple of inches of much needed rain. By today, my yard had totally changed. Although I had been watering faithfully, it does not compare to rainwater.

There is a baby cantaloupe on the vine and we have baby cukes. We were late starting the cukes and squash. We are getting at least one tomato a day. Yesterday we had 2 and ate them both while still in the yard. The grape tomatoes are starting to turn red. Ate some at my sisters today and hers were so sweet.

My new kitty is a boy--Thomas O'Malley. He is learning to climb up my leg into my lap. I am covered with scratches. What a joy for us! My 1 yr old female cat is not receiving him with open arms. She has been fixed and I thought that would calm her nerves, but she is really not a nice cat. Any suggestions? She will let me pet her but anyone else she bites and scratches. Can cats take antidepressants or nerve pills?

I hope to get some weeding done this week. I have been focused on house work for the past week (does that tell you how far behind I was?) I bought a 'Coral Nymph' salvia and a "Black and Blue' salvia last year. This year those 2 have taken off. They both bloom constantly and the coral one throws babies. What more could I ask for? The bees love them.

Peace and Love

carolyncat353	Jul 9, 2008 \| 4:49 AM PST We I ended up with Oreo, a starved stray that showed up at work, and brought him home, my two older cats (11 & 13 at the time)hissed and ran from him all the time. Oreo was presistent, though, and finally, the 11 year old cat began to play with him. Give the older cat lots of attention, too. Eventually, it will come around.

Inevitably it would take the first one a few weeks to even a couple of months to warm up to the new one, but eventually they come to an agreement. My current 2 are the best of buds :)
