R.I.P.

I can't believe it is 11:41 p.m. and I have wasted all of this time. I went looking for a photo of Betty the Crazy Idaho Cat . For some reason I couldn't find one, but I found all sorts of interesting photos from years past and had to look at them. Low and behold a few hours have passed. Anyway, the reason I was looking for pictures of Betty is she disappeared a few weeks ago. I found myself almost sad even though I had tried to give her away about 1000 times. Unfortunately she must have succombed to living out in the middle of nowhere. We had 6+ lovely years together. Anyway...we have new kitties here compliments of my sister and her cat Lucinda.

Here is Daphne....



And Fred.....


Lila seems to like them both....
It has been busy here.  We are down to the last week of soccer.  Which is good, cause I am teetering on the edge of insanity with all of the practices and games. 
I have completed week 2 of my body transformation challenge.  The workouts are fine.  I am struggling with the protein.  I basically suck at getting that much protein.  6 weeks left...need to figure it out.  I ran yesterday when the gym was closed out in the middle of nowhere (which I quite like...one of the things I like about the middle of nowhere).  I saw this pretty little weed flower and came back to take some pictures of it.  Here is one of them.  Ran 3.6 miles, it is getting easier. Still don't want to do a marathon dear sister.
The garden is busy growing.  Here is my first harvest.  A pretty little radish.  I accidently left it out on the counter and he was all shriveled into nothing by morning.  I pulled a buddy of his the next day and he was quite tasty.
And one last photo...some strawberries from my patch.  They are quite tasty as well.  As it is late, I am going to close.  I have more pictures, but I will share those later.  Good night =).

Very nice pictures....you have the gift of photography...among other gifts....! Lila is such a cutie.
By the way I have 4 more identical Fred's and 1 Daphe..that you are welcome to have to keep Lila company...PLUS EACH girl needs their own kitten ...plus a few extra in case the originals get lost as Miss Betty did.

Glad Fred and Daphne are doing well. Their brother Stanley is still without a home yet. That is a pretty flower, radish and strawberry. I have/had same problems with radishes being left out on the counters after the girls harvest a bunch and then leave them laying around various places. I suppose you don't have to run the marathon with me (sigh), but you had better be ready for our trail run in November!

Your photography is amazing. I was looking back to the beginning. You have really improved. Also so sweet to see how the girls have grown. Congratulations on your engagement. Still miss you and think of you often. Trac
