lazy days

Time seems to be going by pretty darn fast. Someone on the radio the other day actually said the word "christmas." Can you believe it! Sad to say, someone killed the beautiful black swans at the Emporia zoo the other night. I'm sure some of you remeber them. One of them was over twenty years old. I know Matthew and I used enjoy watching them. We probably watched them grow up too. Well someone is taken all of the kittens plus the mother. They have kept me busy. I will be sad to see them go but, they are a handful, and they scratch like the dickens. they have gotten use to playing outside and have begun to venture ever and ever farther from the safty of the porch and the mother cat. The mothe cat has been playing with them as if she were a kitten herself. She hops around and grabs them with her paws pulls them down and licks them. She is very protective though. I always know if some thing is in the yard that she doesn't like around her babies. well thats all my news.
