Happy 130th Birthday WSU

Fieldin worked on a pumpkin cake and frosted it. I added a quick decoration. WSU turning 130 years old was a good reason to bake a cake on this rainy day!

Knitted Kitty Toys

I’ve been knitting squares while we watch movies to practice the best way to teach Fieldin to knit. With the squares I made these bunnies and Greta added catnip to them:) new toys for Tater Tot..

More Self Distancing

I noticed the neighborhood has turned one of my book boxes into a temporary food pantry for those neighbors that may eat it. They even put cat food in there:)

I told him I was tired of him asking for food constantly so he made this to make his point. I remind him he needs to use his school stomach.. at school he doesn’t eat ALL day:) 

Grocery store lines. Waiting to get into Trader Joe’s. We live in another world right now.. 

Stand Down Day 3

I guess we needed new towels anyway... for some reason the cat has taken over a our laundry basket that had clean towels in it. It is now her new bed and holds her two favorite toys. If we are up stairs she runs up to make sure we are not touching her new space! 

Hopefully this passes and we can reclaim outworks again... 

Social Distancing

I’ve been busy making more cats out of materials that would have gone to the landfill. 

Writing and singing a song about social distancing 

The backyard is done for now. Now we wait for the weather to warm up so we can plant! 

Lots of garden space now, hooked up to sprinklers.

Kitty is loving all the bird activity out in the backyard

Back Yard Part 1

It’s Spring, it’s warm and we do t have anything better to do right now so we jump started on our backyard redo. We all know I don’t like grass.. the upkeep, resources, chemicals etc are a pain so we put in rock and will have 5 garden beds plus one standing bed set up by Tuesday, hopefully. We also have room for seating and a cool corn hole/yard game set up. 

The front yard almost did us in years ago and this was rough today moving all the rock and dirt. Starting to think my body is getting older????

This was tarp down, waiting for rock. No more Oregon weed grass...

Hopefully if weather holds this will be finished by midweek

Trees

One of the things I love about Oregon are beautiful mossy trees in the Spring all around our house. Such a beautiful combination
