Infrastructure


If body language is any indication


The cats were terribly bored by my presentation on the Heart Encyclopedia.

"Slide 9 needs to go. Powerpoint sucks. You need more graphics. And more cat photos."

Spring farming


There is this sod farm on the way to the Newtown Dairy Corner, which we go to a few times a week occasionally. When we had our front yard redone and they brought in sod, and I asked Ray where the sod comes from. 

"A sod farm," he said.

I thought he was joking. 

"A sod farm? That's ridiculous. It's grass! It's a grass farm?!"

Umm, yeah, there is even a sign there that says "Sod Farm." 

I still think it's hilarious there is such a thing as a sod farm.

The hardest workin' kitties on Erie Avenue.  (More like the most nappin' kitties on a desk on Erie Avenue.)

The Daugherty/Webber Farm

 



It's a pretty big farm. We have tomatoes, brussel sprouts, lettuce and red peppers. Plus herbs, three of them!

Our herb garden

It's mostly catnip. But there is also oregano, parsley and basil. Big time stuff.

Things start to get real grim at the Flying Pig toward the end. 

High-Foul Pop-Up Over Third Base


I got a foul ball at the Reds game on Friday, May 2. It was more exciting than you can possibly image. I was beaming. I think it just wanted to be close to my cat hat though. (Can't blame it.)
