Happy Birthday To Me

Today is my birthday. I'm not getting any younger, so enough said.

Here is my new little kitten, Socks.

Isn't he adorable. I think he has been eating good. He doesn't feel like he's all skin and bones like he did when we first got him. The other animals haven't taken to him yet, but he doesn't seem to be afraid of them. He is faster than the dogs and so far Zoe just hisses at him.

This is Zoe. She thinks she's the Queen of the house. We've had her for 11 years. She still seems like a kitten to us.

This is Ivannah. We call her Ivan after "Ivan the Terrible". She is really a very good dog. Just out going and demanding, but very lovable. She is a joy. I don't think she likes having her picture taken. She looks scarred. Don't think she likes the flash.

This is Meiko. Her name fits. She is very timid and shy. Of course the quiet ones are the ones you have to watch. I think she would harm the kitty if she had a chance. She is very suspicious of him and jealous of him. She has big sad brown eyes that makes our hearts go out to her. She follows me around the house and is never far from where I'm at.

I hadn't taken any recent pictures of our pets, so thought I'd take pictures of them all while I was doing pictures of the new kitten.

56 more 9-patches to go. Maybe I will have time to work on them some today. First I want to sort through my quilt magazines and get them put on the shelf unit in my quilting studio. A start on shoveling out the living room. I still haven't finished the kitchen. One day I'll feel like doing it.

Paul brought in some green beans, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers from our garden last night. Think I'll cook the beans and slice the tomatoes to go with our meat loaf for tonight's supper.
