1. I just spent OVER AN HOUR on pruning the dusty miller alone. My goodness, how that stuff grows! I remember it as a tiny little well-behaved plant, but that was in New England. Here it's waist-high, and y'know how some plants crowd out neighboring ones and kill them? This patch is making takeover bids for the concrete. I think it's winning.

2. Jackie-cat decorated the house again last night. Oh Joy. And there was much rejoicing cleanup.

amazing what a different climate will do to a plant. i remember seeing monstrous poinsettas in sunny florida at xmas, and being stunned by them.

Samkitty's been doing a lot of redecorating 'round here as well. time to step up the brushing and the hairball treatments.

i hope your weekend didn't totally derail into madness!

Ugh, cleaning up after that stuff is awful, isn't it?

Jackie has a couple of special twists. One is that she never leaves fewer than about a dozen spots. She just can't stop once she gets going. The other is that she has some serioualy rude digestive problem, quite possibly IBD, and every time she has a fit like this she also misses the litterbox with her other end. I am soooo glad there's linoleum in that room.

I got it all cleaned up, and just now Duchess got started. Sigh. No more long-haired cats after this! No more!
