Thursday in the Garden: The Old Garden

We are joining with Jonesie, now that Chey knows all about gardens to do a Thursday gardening post. I am not sure if we will get every Thursday (especially in the winter) but we’ll see.

Although Chey did the interviewing, she does not go in the garden. However, she said we should start with some before shots so you can admire the after shots when they happen.

This is the front of the house:

Our Dad does not want to have to mow so there will no more grass here. Don’t worry! We have a pot of cat grass in the back already growing. Mom says that hopefully the new landscaping will help to hide the service stuff on the edge of our lot.

Here are three photos of the backyard, one looking to the right  and the other to the left and one straight ahead from the sliding door. This is where Gemini and I go outside.

So anyway, here we are examining a new butterfly bush that will go where the ugly vegetable planter thing that Dad has. Gemini and I find it interesting. He thinks it’s neat and Mom thinks it’s ugly.

Yeah, okay so I did try a taste of the dirt there. Gemini thought that was rude.

Now, here I am checking out a blueberry bush that will stay around:

And here’s Gemini checking out the planter. I think she is pleased that the fertilizer sitting there is fish poop fertilizer. I just wish it were fish!

And here I am, smelling the California Lilac. Dad really liked this when he saw it at Jonesie’s house so he made sure to find one. This is supposed to be smaller but Mom isn’t convinced it will be.

If this means I can go wander around the yard regularly, I’ll be a happy cat! This was fun!

 

Wednesday with Chey

IMG_2822smThe Woman is getting before photos of the yard together for a Thursday post. I shall use Jonesie’s information from when Flat Chey toured the garden there to make sure the Woman does it right.

However, I must say I do not garden. I do not go outside. I mean, when you go outside, you are expected to hunt things and perhaps kill your own dinner. I won’t eat unless it’s in my dish. Ever. So why would I do that?

Tabby Tuesday

IMG_2730smYep, I’m back in the bed now. Although earlier I was out with Ichiro and Mama taking before pictures of the yard. I made sure the plants she has got are all okay. I even tasted some which she was not all that thrilled with but how was I to know what was going on if I did not taste?

Mancat Meezer Monday

IMG_2853smOh boy, I love stretching out in the sun. I hope it gets back again today.

Mom said later on she would probably take some before pictures of the yard so that we can all see what it looked like before it was planted. I hope I get to help, cause I’m a big mancat and like making sure all is well with my yard.

Sunday Guest Star: Flynn

Eric and Flynn 12.05.13 164_resizedWell I knew this would be a hard one. Just look at the guy who was with me. He’d been waiting for his ride for ages.  Flynn knew right off it was Mexico. Cory and Derby and Ducky guessed around the area (with Derby and Ducky being closer) but were not right. Finally Flynn said, “Is it Valladolid on the Yucatan peninsula?” And he was right!

I could have made it hard and asked for like an address but you know, this guy was waiting for so long I just went running out to catch any cat in Valladolid and hitch a ride home. It was at a big buffet that had lots of food that was tasty and a very nice lime chicken soup. And lots of other things.  And it was all tasty. And cold cause it’s very hot there.

Anyway, I’m off to explore the new plants that are waiting to be planted next week and we’ll see what happens then!

Find Chey Friday #214

skeletorMan, I hope I don’t end up here as long as this guy has! I think I might need some help!

Wednesday with Chey

IMG_2821smI love spring. I hope the sunshine stays for awhile. This is why Gemini can use one of my beds!

And for those who were worried, I have four beds. And I use them all…

Tabby Tuesday

IMG_2742smWhy yes I am sitting in Chey’s bed. And don’t I look fantastic?

Mancat Meezer Monday

IMG_2845smCan you tell I’m happy Mom is home?  And you know what? She got to meet all our friends over at Cory’s! She even saw Nigel which is a little like getting to see Gemini.

 

Not Finding Chey Friday

IMG_1035Yep, that’s not me OR Ichiro. That’s not even my yard. It’s Cory’s! HA HA HA! And Flat Chey is there on Friday Evening. So this one is a give me!
