Kittens have a hard time on our farm. We have an outdoor dog who finds them so fun to play with that he accidentally kills them. That's George above. He looks like a puppy but he's already two years old.
Anyway, a young mother cat had five kittens this spring, and made the mistake of moving them up under the back porch to raise them. They would get curious and explore, George would find them, he would play, they would die. Except for this one.
This one was content to stay hidden behind the tallest of my flowers at the back of the flower bed for weeks. Now she is big enough to get away, and she has come out to get acquainted.
She is a Siamese calico spotted kitten with a blaze on her face. Cute as a bug's ear with bright blue eyes. Does anyone want her?

when i'm home next, we need to talk about chard recipes. the farmer's market has an abundance of it here, and i bought some once, but hated how it tasted when i cooked it. i never hate a vegetable.... i think i must have done something wrong. i hope the new crop sticks around despite the bunnies!
