Dumb Kitty is Dumb

I've taken to letting the cats out into the yard while I'm working on the garden. It means I can keep half an eye on them, make sure they don't escape through the missing boards on the gates, etcetera.

This morning, while I was transplanting the last batch of corn into one of the new beds and planting bean seeds around it, Paris decided to try out her tree-climbing skills, and proved that while she can go up, the concept of down is much more problematic....

Took pictures, laughed at her, got Wonderful Husband up to help with ladderal things, rescued her. Funnily enough, had no problem convincing her that it was time to go back inside.

Today I...

Transplanted corn and buttercup squash, planted bean, spinach, carrot, radish, dill, cilantro, and various salad greenery seeds;

Started Brussel sprout, rhubarb, strawberry, cucumber, basil, parsley, sunflowers, violets, and lavender seeds;

Rescued kitty from tree;

Read Host Club 12, Kitchen Princess 10, and another 20-some-odd pages of my current book;

Went to an estate sale and purchased a hoe, a very large bowl-shaped clay pot, three embroidery pieces in various states of finished, and a linen tablecloth;

Finally got the soaker hose set up for garden bed #1;

Dug up 'taters, harvested peppers, squash, and tomatoes;

Washed dishes, made sun tea, and failed to destroy the Earth.

All in all, a good day.
