I heard a definite mewing sound outside in my front garden this afternoon. I stepped in its direction. It stopped.
I waited. I heard it again and took another step.
It stopped. I waited.
I heard it again. I got closer. I pulled back a mass of foliage and there underneath…
was a brand-new, still-wet kitten, and another one being born. The picture above was taken after Cookie had had all her kittens and was up moving around and eating her first post-delivery meal.
One may wonder, why is Lynn allowing more kittens? Well, who knew Cookie would get this way so fast? We just did not get her to the vet in time, but I have learned my lesson. If we can just get through this…
Not that brand-new kitties are that hard a thing to get through, but
if we can just get them all safely raised a bit, find homes for some of them, maybe adopt one. Maybe. Just ONE. We will make a most-certain, very important, should-have-happened-sooner trip to the vet.
In other news, this child
was born 21 years ago today. So we sang a joyful Happy Birthday to him today.
We have a rash of children’s birthdays this time of year. Three down. One to go. Not that I mind. It’s just that there’s a flurry of activity this time of year anyway, but it’s a joyous thing, so I’m not complaining. I love the sounds of my children and their happy voices.
Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Cake. Yum.
My oldest son’s 21st birthday, new kittens that seem like they were just for him on his birthday. It’s been a pretty swell afternoon.

The kittens are adorable…Happy Happy to the birthday boy!!
Awwwww… kitties! That little black one with the white nose is just too cute! My friend had the same situation with her cats. Two litters in two months! She’s moving fast now!
Thanks, Kate! Aren’t they sweet?
Kathi, thanks for your comment! I was just reading your blog. Love the pictures of your daughter. Oh, and I’m a shopaholic too.

Dear Lynn,
What a sweet surprise for the birthday boy, and what a truly precious portrait! I hope he had a wonderful day. If Michaela had switched his numbers, he’d be twelve!
Love,
Marqueta
p.s. I just looked at the link you sent me~wow, taking poke berries for pills! Maybe when they’re dried they’re okay, eh?
Oh what a nice surprise! Wow 21…that was a tough age for me
is it any different for boys?
Thank you for sharing the kittens and the delicious birthday cake!
Happy Birthday to your sweet “boy”
blessings,

Hi Lynn! Happy Birthdays to your family! We too are celebrating birthday season over here! We have probably a dozen or more in our immediate families!
