{pretty, happy, funny, real} - May 15

A few days late due to Blogger's issues. . . .

Why can't things be made as beautifully as this anymore?  This is my great-grandmother's sewing machine.

This is our new kitty: Ezekial Clyde ("Zeke").  A "Free Kitten" sign led to us bringing home this little guy.

And here he is taming the plant.

This huge snapping turtle wandered through our yard this week.  His shell was easily 18" long!

I find new homes not as charming as older homes and sometimes I am discouraged that my home (being new) lacks charm.  But perhaps charm is not found in just the old - that is easy, it is found in the lovely regardless of age.

I wish you could hear the squeals of laughter as she ran back and forth on the sidewalk.

This is what happens when I am so distracted by doing Kalliope's hair (and she is sitting happily and quietly entertaining herself) that I fail to notice what she's up to!  Big sister's play make-up was such fun!

Burying our beloved kitten, Louie.  We think he was bitten by a snake.  He had been acting slightly off for a day and then disappeared, but we didn't find him for a few days and then it was too late.
