The garden got some much-needed attention over the rest of the weekend, between weeding and tilling, plus harvesting the bounty of green and yellow beans. Cherry tomatoes are ripening daily as well. Also found time on Saturday night for a nice bonfire, and even slept out in the tent - too nice a night to waste indoors!
Bountiful gardenBickey is showing signs of improvement - still weak and not eating, but he is showing glimpses of playing, grooming and other indications of energy that are positive. He is also looking less jaundiced. Still, we had to add a new high-calorie food supplement to his force-fed diet, this one a thick molasses like goo from a tube. Since of course he won't eat it on his own, we are left to smearing it on his face and relying on natural cat grooming instinct to lick it off.....leading to this obvious moment of hilarity:
The Dirty SanchezFinally got the old Cox family van off to Tilsonburg recently.....after pushing it the hard way out of the barn in neutral, then had to boost it several times, not only to get it running, but the battery would not hold a charge. After about the fourth boost, we finally drove it to Wheatley, on fumes mind you, and had a new battery installed. We figured with our luck we would run out of gas AND have to boost it again! After a bit of an adventurous drive along the Lake Erie shore, with Jane following behind in the car, the good ol' 1980 Ford Econoline Chateau was delivered safe and sound to Jane's parents.
Givin' the ol' girl a boost

lmfao!!! That picture of the cat is priceless! If he leaves nasty surprises in your morning coffee to say gracias for the humiliation, I would not be surprised. He does NOT look impressed!
