This is Luke...posing just a pretty as...well, a picture! ha! He looked so cute sitting out in the yard! He used to be such a skinny ol' kitty, now he's so fat. He still likes to play and you wouldn't think he'd run around like he does, so its pretty funny!
I've been working on my flower beds and vegetables in between all the rain! I have some tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, peas and beans started. I planted some asparagus too, but I'll be surprised if that works out! I planted 2 thornless blackberries and one is starting the grown. My fig tree I planted last year is growing and I have 2 blueberry bushes hanging on. Who knows, I might have a handful of fruit this year!! Enjoy some more pics of my kitties and my garden below!!

Luke was looking so handsome, I got a few good ones of him!
I finally got a chance to visit with my new great-nephew the other day. It was fun, but he SLEPT the whole time I was there! I hated to leave, but had to pick up those darn taxes from the accountant! I did get to hold him and give him kisses. Maybe next time he'll be awake, or I'll have more time to wait on him to wake up!
Poncho has a good story...he came here so scared and skinny and sickly. He's still "slim", but healthy and friendly. (That's why most of his pics are of him in my lap!) It was just last summer (I think....it seems longer ago!) that he was hiding in the shed next door while we cooked out. He'd watch us from afar and I'd cook extra hot dogs so I could toss him a few treats. It didn't long for him to start hanging out with us, then ON us! It took a while to clear up his sniffles & ear mites, but he was well worth it!!

I hope you're having some nice spring weather! Its been pretty nice here, besides some thunderstorms. I have lots of flowers blooming and planted a few veggies. Can't wait to have my first vine ripe tomato of the season! My last project on my studio was putting up a wire fence to grown some vines on. I got that up and all my plants and seeds planted there. We tried to recycle as much as possible and did pretty well! All I had to buy was the wire. We had all the fence posts except 2 (they came with the property), someone gave us some they didn't need and we picked up the wooden posts on the side of the road. My next project is an arbor made from 2 metal gates that were here when we bought the property. I'll share pics as soon as I get all this done. I am STILL hoping to open in the fall. It looks like a lot of work still needs to be done, but my husband thinks it can be done by October. I hope so....can't wait to have my first visitors!!
My nephew is a senior this year so I did his senior portraits. I was pretty proud of how they turned out! I took some of the rest of his family too....I've had my eye on several of these places to take pics for a long time and we had lots of fun, or at least I did! I love how they turned out, but it helps when you have good looking models! I wanted to share a few of my favorites. I've even had a few requests to do other peoples' photos, which I would LOVE!! I guess with my new nephew, I have another cutie to photograph too...Enjoy my other pics!
I'm thinking Hadley is one smart little kitty! She learns fast and I've taught her to shake & "give me 5"...so I was wondering what other tricks I could teach her. Any suggestions? I know you're supposed to teach them things they are already good at. (She was always pawing at me and reaching for me, so that's why I taught her that trick.) Lately when you try to walk into a room, she runs in front of you and jumps straight up and grabs the door knob with both paws. She'll hang there a few seconds waiting on you to open the door. I'm not too sure I want to turn that into a trick though! LOL!! I'd love some suggestions...never really trained a kitty before!!
