Garden and Cats and Bunny

 How did we get to June already, where has this year gone.  I have pretty much done pot planting this year, it is much easier.  The yard is full of clover and the big bunny is back even though I have 2 ferals, he must know when they come up and wait until it is safe.

The moss rose has sort of come back this year.  The deer decided to use it for a snack last summer, so it is slowly coming around. I thought it had died, but nope.


The geraniums lived in the house over the winter, they were full of huge blooms, pale pink and coral.  I love geraniums.  My grandmother who lived in LA had red ones that always bloomed at Christmas.  The salvia is back and the gold finches have been eating the seed.


I bought a new bird feeder setup so the squirrels, snakes, and raccoons can not get to the bird seed.  


This was a hanging basket that I just put into a whiskey barrel.  When I walk out the front door it smells so good.


My sweet potato has a lot of new leaves coming on, I wonder how many I will get.


Tomato plant has blooms, the pepper shrivels up during the day when the sun is on it and then un-shrivels at night when it gets cooler and the sun goes down.  The rosemary I started hopefully to get it going again.


I love petunias and got these dark purple ones, they look like velvet.


My Vinca, either 7th or 8th summer for this 6 pack.  I see they are changing color again as is evident of the one hanging over.  She winters in the house with the geraniums.


These are very bright pink with a white tinge around the petals.  


Chubby and the misses are back, he buzzed me the other night while I was sitting on the porch with Lila, I think I saw him smirk from scaring me.


Black Eyed Susans from last years seed that was left in the pots.  


Mr Bunny has been around but then my yard is full of clover so he eats well.  I hope he knows there are 2 ferals now.


BigBoy hardly ever sleeps on his back, but last week he was a bit off and he was laying beside me snoring.  Today he has bounced back to his normal onery self.


Licorice, what a handsome cat he is.  He comes every day to eat.  This morning he was up way early and after 3 different flavors and dry food, he just would not eat.  I hope he is ok, cos he ate well last night.  


Lila Grey.  What a sweet girl she is.  She comes up in the morning and eats and runs, she has babies to feed.  Then she will show up between 2 and 5 in the afternoon and stay til 7-9.  She let me pick her up yesterday and cuddle.  She has to have her head rubbed before she will eat. I do not think she is a year old yet.  I would have her in the house but I have no idea where the kittens are, I think she may have moved them this morning.  As soon as she brings me the kittens they are all coming in the house. I am keeping her and either give the kittens away or take them to a shelter, I may keep one or two.  We shall see.  Would you all please channel Lila and tell her to bring me the kittens, she is driving me crazy worrying about all of them.  I would go look for them but I do not want her getting scared and either moving them and all be gone, or she will get scared and just leave them.
