… a three leaf clover? Ah well. Finding Sophie posing in the clover is lucky enough!
I’m looking over…

Invader
This little black cat has been trying to move in on Sophie’s territory, coming in the meadow, around the coop, even up to the front door! Not people friendly, though. Or at least not friendly to Sophie’s people.
That’s why you’re upset
The hens periodically make alarm sounds, but by the time I get out to the coop, there is nothing to be seen. This time I saw Sophie the cat stalk by the coop and hide under some cardboard. No wonder the hens freak. (I use the card board on the path to give traction when it is muddy, until I get some decomposed granite.)
Hiding under the cardboard is immensely cute, but I can see how it would upset the chickens!
Pet bed
Awhile ago I bought a pet blanket I intended to go in the car. It was fuzzy and water resistent, and I thought it would entice Griffin, our older dog, to the back seat. Well, the thing had two layers and wasn’t quilted, so was crazy slippery. Not good to cover car seats! Flash past the initial purchase, the failed attempts, and the months of no car rides (we are easing Missy back to the car rides), and the blanket and some left over egg crate foam were taking up space in my craft room. So I used the blanket to make a pet bed. I cut the foam to make two layers, cut enough fabric to cover, sewed velcro to close (next time I’ll do a zipper, which is easier to sew than velcro), and sewed the open seams. The pets now compete to lay on it.
Oh yeah, and it is National Puppy Day! I don’t think the cats got the memo.
Puzzle cat
To solve our cat butt on the puzzle problem, we added a shoe box to the puzzle table. We still need to cover the puzzle with poster board when we aren’t working in it, but this seems to appease her highness.
