In my corner... I am very excited that I will be able to hear this brilliant lady speak tonight:

Event Details

Leymah Gbowee’s life-long passion is to make the world a better place. She has done so by plying her own form of non-violent activism, first in Liberia to end civil war and most recently in North Korea by joining women marching for unity. She will share her mission for peace and her efforts toward that noble goal.

Speaker Bio

Current as of August 31, 2015

Well, I didn't have to go too far to get photos for "overgrown" ... I am ashamed to admit, this is my veggie and herb garden...

The daisy ground cover in the front is also overgrown, but I think it looks better than my veggie garden :-)

Happy corner-viewing!

It has become my routine to post photos of the kittens. However, after Sunday 4 of the 5 will be gone. (Hamish is not up for adoption, yet, as he needs to be socialized more.)

So, this is the last photo for these three. (Bathsheba n/k/a Savannah was adopted a couple of weeks ago and is adored and spoiled by her new family.)

Penelope, the black one, went to live with a very nice young lady tonight. (And, Penelope ended up being a "late blooming" boy.) Oscar-the-Blond is going to be a companion for a 16 year old cat and a 16 year old girl. The girl's father is surprising her with him on Saturday as he hopes Oscar can not only help the older cat rally, but help his daughter when "the" time comes. Ginger Jude is moving to the beach on Sunday. He will be the only cat to three young girls. I'll miss the little guys, but am glad that they are all going to good homes. (And you should all be glad that this is the last kitten post :-) )

They will be gone, but my rain-gutter Harry will remain here with me.

Happy corner-viewing from the crazy cat lady!

A stroll down a garden path can cure whatever ails you...

...kittens can, too!
