Almost like they think they own the place

Proud kitty

This kitty adores our newest hatchling.

He takes the time

to warm her seat.

And is always looking for a chance to snuggle.

He is very pleased with the new addition.

It's getting cold outside

Has anyone else noticed the rather drastic change in the weather recently?

Time to put your furry lap warmers on.

This boy and this kitty are quite the pair.

Today, I am thankful for a patient kitty who follows this boy around, and repeatedly curls up on his lap, no matter how many times matchbox cars are driven down his tail and despite being used as a napkin post strawberry jam on toast.

He always returns, to be with this little boy.

(Truthfully, I think he's developed a taste for jam. I caught him on the counter cleaning jam off a left behind piece of toast… or maybe that was self preservation?)

While it is not always perfect, our animals have been a great blessing to our lives, and for all they give to my hatchlings, I am very grateful. 

Furry friends

Despite repeated lectures from me to prevent them ever meeting,

the hatchlings were determined, all their furry friends would be one happy family.

Unexpectedly, they seem to like each other. 

They groom each other, and cuddle up to sleep.

What a funny furry family.

Whole lot of stuff...

A whole lot of stuff has happened since our move. 

Stuff like a significant injury which landed me in hospital...

Hence the total lack of blogging.

It has been a really tough couple of weeks.

But we are starting to get back up on our feet. 

Nothing like a sharp dose of hurting to make you really appreciate the wonderfulness of a normal day.

We had big plans for the spring, but needing to recover physically, had not been on the to do list.

Thankfully, I have lots of trusty helpers.

One of our plans did work out. 

Which made for five very happy hatchlings.

We adopted a pair of rescue cats. 

This docile, blue eyed sweetie is Samson. The black guy is Puss, and despite never having had children before, they have adopted the hatchlings with a level of patience I didn't know a feline could possess. 

This little guy (standing next to a chicken egg)... awe!... is another of this spring's plans.

And here are a few of his/ her buddies.

Baby quails!

Hatchling no4 put his hands on his checks and exclaimed, 'Oh my d'oodness! Those are the cutest things I ever did see!'

Hopefully life will allow us time to recover, and adventure, with a few less bumps and bruises, and I shall blog more regularly. Really.

I love the look on his face - 'I am tolerating the tiny humans...' 

Wishing you a very happy weekend.
