What's Going On ...

How can I stand to leave my garden? Well, that one is a really tough one...I don't want to leave it, I'm still enjoying it, watering it, keeping an eye on the butterflies, doing maintenance on it...However, I also realize that we can start another garden (this one is only about a year old believe it or not), and I will have some of my metal pieces to take with me, and this fall/winter is our bed preparation time, so we'll start on it as soon as possible...I also hope whoever buys the house enjoys the garden, and that will make it easier for me to turn it over to good hands...

What will we do about the stray kitty? Right now we don't have any plans to take her, so we'll talk to the owners of the home where she's been hanging out (they haven't moved in yet, they're still renovating, but they aren't here much of late) and see if they'd be interested in at least keeping her food bowl filled...If not, perhaps another neighbor will help out...we have good neighbors, and they understand the problem with the original owners...We won't abandon her, we'll figure something out...

Will we keep our kitties safe from coyotes in the country? Yes of course...first off, we'll keep our kitties indoors for a few months, as we did when we moved into the Austin house...they didn't want to go out and we didn't want them to...Next, I'll get a couple of harnesses and take them outside on a leash to get used to the outside...and finally, even tho we live in the 'stix', we are still close to town and coyotes don't show up where we live...but we've moved with cats before, and we'll take the same precautions as we have in the past...

So if you have other questions or concerns, fire them at me...I'll answer them as best as I can...I appreciate all the great response from everyone, and I can't wait to get settled and start taking pics of the new place...Why did we choose to move in the hottest month?
