 Thank you Auntie Margaret for the lovely braids in Ava's hair!

And thank you to Auntie Beth for giving Ava a hair trim.  :-)

 Sour Cherries....

so ripe the stones were coming out as we were picking them

 Hmmm....sour cherries aren't exactly great for eating!

And now I'm trying to find sweet cherry recipes.  Have any great recipes to share with me?

Introducing....Mittens!

Come meet our new kitten

Ninja

Peanuts

....

Mittens!

 He's around eight weeks old....and I don't think I've ever had a kitten before. (Cats, yes.  Kittens, no.)  What are we in for????

 I think his full name might end up being something like this: Mittens the Peanut Ninja Kitty

Can you tell we had trouble deciding on his name?

Annika came up with Peanuts and then Mittens.  I think Mittens suits him better.  What do you think?

 He's very sweet and playful.  He adores feathers.  He doesn't mind being carried around by little girls.

 Both of the girls are in love!

Welcome to the family, Mittens!  Thank goodness you know what the litter box is there for!
