A red peony bud prepares to open fully After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple.

How did the cats lose their eyes? Was it a birth defect or an injury. I have a one eyed chicken and I think it was born without the other eye since it has so many other deformities.

However, Leela has a very sweet personality. I can't make a good judgment call of Phillip; he's in a new environment and is still a kitten.
