feral cat adoption

Jill, our elderly friends adopted a 2 year old feral cat last summer thinking she'd be their lap cat. Many surprises there for them and for the cat. She finally lets them touch her, fleetingly. She will come near and even walk on the back of the sofa where they are sitting. They can talk to her now without her running. Her favorite place is sitting in a window, looking out. They are traveling in a motor home with her! She escaped once and of course they couldn't catch her. She runs from rather than to them. But, she did come back to the door and let her new mommy bring her in. Wish someone would have advised them before this adoption. This is their first cat, lots of new experiences for all. We are hopeful she will further adapt; they have made big strides. And, they do love her.

Lovely weather today, 65 and sunny. Glad the plants (well covered with newspapers and sheets) survived our cold nights and look happy. Replaced many 10 days ago thinking our winter was past. Usually only get one spell of freezing nights and had that in December. 28 pots of herbs and flowers on our flagstone patio (back) and courtyard (front). Gardening is much easier here with no weeding since all is in pots. Lifting is up to dh, which helps. The daffodils are up and tall. 2 amarilys are poking thru as are the purple lilies.

Big reorganization in this quilt/computer room. Have 8 large bins (filled and labeled) beneath the sewing table. More in the closets and smaller ones on both bookshelves. Since more space is not going to happen, this helps. Now, I need time and motivation to actually finish all these projects!

Speedy recovery wishes, Jane.

Blessings,
