curses on these cats

2011-11-10 - 8:24 a.m.

Seems like I walked away for a bit, and the yard instantly went to heck. The rotary tumbler is acting up. The back fence has rotted in the area behind the old finch-house monkey-grass garden, and a parade of horrible cats keep coming and going all day. When I got back from the Yellow Rail Fest, I found evidence that they've been attacking my wild visitors -- Blue Jay feathers, Mourning Dove feathers in suggestive numbers. So I had to take down the feeders until we have time to patch the hole.

Yes, the pesky things can climb, but why make it easy for them? The orange cat is still leaving pawprints on my new car. Wonder if I can sprinkle some hot pepper flakes around...

Peachfront's Note: There has never been a world traveler quite as whackadoo as Peachfront. For your approval, I submit to you my recent around-the-world jaunt featuring the crazy Farewell Gambling Tour plus big-ass mileage run from New Orleans to Detroit to Macau to Hong Kong and back again. Oh yeah, and earlier in the month, I also visited D.C. and grabbed the Yellow Rail for my life list at the 2011 Yellow Rail and Rice Festival in Jennings, Louisiana. Click as desired to get the whole story:

I'm just back from the Farewell Gambling Tour, so start with part one, New Orleans, or continue to part two, Detroit, and part three, more Detroit/Greektown, and part 4, I take Macau, and part 5, Hong Kong don't scare me none. And please don't forget to check out my October jaunts by clicking on the photos below.
