Cat family dynamics are interesting in my neighbor’s colony. In the picture above, the calico in the lead is the momma cat, and the two behind her are her adult kittens. This is a typical scene, with her leading and her brood not far behind. They have all been fixed, and maybe that has something to do with the easy going attitudes.
Here is an amusing trail cam capture. I’m sure the fight wasn’t funny, but the frozen chase is an unusual find.
There were no photos on either side of this one with these two cats, so I assume the chase was all that was within the camera’s field. It is set up to take photos every three seconds, so those cats were indeed high-tailing it.
I’m surprised that I don’t see more chases and fights on the trail cam, honestly.
We went to the Fort Worth Zoo the other day and I got a kick out of seeing the wild heron fishing at the fish stocked hippo tank.
Fish are kept in the hippo pool as a natural cleaning crew for dung, algae, and hippo skin.
Spring is not a happy time in this Texas household. Everyone is upping their allergy medicines, and buying stock in Kleenex. It’s pollen season.
Sniff.
In March of 2017 I was crocheting a yellow lace circle vest for my sister. The pattern included classic crocheted lace elements.
My sister was visiting, so we did a fitting and she requested sleeves. By June of 2017 I had finished the sleeves by doing a simple net for the arms, and a matching edge pattern for the bell sleeves at the elbows.
Although it was pretty, the delicate lace was, well, delicate. It didn’t hold up well to use.
