We've been eating peaches and eating peaches and eating peaches lately. We got a flat from Costco and can't stop! They are terrific right now. We're saving the seeds to plant our own little peach orchard. I've read that you can't count on the seeds to produce the same tasty peaches that they came from (but they never said you couldn't TRY!).
The articles did say that peaches are really prone to diseases though. Another fun fact: The US produces more peaches than any other country. Peachy-keen.
The babies have been very cute lately. Although yesterday, Ms Gray (the mom) brought a dead squirrel onto the deck for the babies to eat. I'm happy that the babies are learning to eat local...ah...produce....because I want them to catch the mice and the rats that we sometimes have around here. However, I'm not big on those kinds of meals served on our deck. It'd be one thing if they cleaned up after themselves (versus just cleaning themselves). Anyway, I had to put on rubber gloves and remove the remains of their meal myself.
And I just don't like doing that.
I think we'll end up keeping all three of them. 5 cats for our place isn't too many. But we will have to get them fixed. The average life span of a cat out here is about 2 years. So I'm not too sure it's a good idea to have them all fixed. If we'd had the first two cats fixed, we'd only have 1 cat right now and that's not enough for all the cat-work there is out here. We'll see. I have to think about it.
Sherman is learning to love the cats as well. He really doesn't mind them. Even shares his food dish with them. He usually lets them eat first. But if I give him any special treats in his dish, the cats better watch out. He's not so likely to share then! (These next couple of photos are taken through the door - that's why they're a bit foggy).
