Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

The Bird Feeder

After helping my sister with her tomato replanting, Katie helped her make the sugar water for the hummingbird feeder.

I looked up the recipe for the sugar water online.

I had to add one part sugar, and...

...four parts water.

Then I had to stir it up until the sugar was dissolved. Hope the hummingbirds like it!

Helping Aunt Jennifer

My sister was repotting her tomato plants, and Katie was there to help.

I don't really like to touch a lot of the things that might be dirty, but I'm happy to hold the scissors.

I like to hold the plant up straight while Aunt Jennifer adds more soil.

Poor Mr. Limpet

Mr. Limpet and General Washington really are best friends, but as friends, they love to play and wrestle. This weekend, their wrestling had a casualty. Mr. Limpet's ear was accidentally ripped. Katie has been giving him lots of tender loving care.

The cats still love each other.

Mr. Limpet doesn't seem to care about his ripped ear.

Kanoodle

Katie loves to be challenged by her Kanoodle game. Sometimes she takes the challenges that came in her direction guide, but other times, she tries to figure out how to make the different pieces fit into her game board.

This game looks easy enough. You have to fit the different shaped pieces together to either make a pyramid or a rectangle, but it's hard!

Looking for Flowers

As we have posted, we have had no problems with our plants growing in our garden. Now Katie has been watching for flowers. She knows that when she sees flowers, produce isn't far behind.

I think I see something!

It makes me so happy to see my plants growing and changing!

The Safe

Last Christmas (or maybe birthday), Katie got a safe to hold her money. She has mostly kept special items in her safe, but she has decided that it is time to put her money in it now.

Once I put the end of my bills in, the safe sucks it in!
