The day has finally come… big Bertha was ready to pick. Not sure what to do with her, but we had some fun doing comparative size studies… Human head vs. mutant tomato Mutant tomato menacing Paddy The one on the left is actually smarter. Simon meets Bertha Bertha and one of her siblings Bertha and one of the pink tomato cubes. I’ll bet it’s afraid for its life. Yeah, we said we were going to leave the carpet that was over the plywood till we figured out what our plans were but that was also the nastiest part… …as you can see. A lot of moisture issues in front of the fireplace. We aren’t sure if it is all due to Lindsy sleeping there, or if there’s been a leakage issue (other than leaking dog). Finally the cooties have been purged, and the area repeatedly treated. Of course, now we have a plywood living room… for now. Today was Simon’s birthday, or at least it’s the day we celebrate it. Since Simon was a rescue that we adopted while living in Tucson, AZ, we kind of had to estimate by the age he was when we got him. We can’t believe he is actually NINE! There was vanilla ice cream, and cheetos, two of Simon’s favorite things… … though there was also no shortage of volunteers offering to help him finish the ice cream. It being the first birthday party Paddy has attended, he had some etiquette issues involving others’ ice cream and had to have a leash. Cricket was proud of her party outfit, which she got from Wag!… Winter chose to show up fashionably late and missed the ice cream. Olive isn’t much for crowds and watched from a distance. Calvin didn’t have time to pick out an outfit so he made his own. After the ice cream, everyone headed out to the park to play soccer. Simon got to play first, it being HIS birthday… …but Calvin couldn’t resist jumping in… … and like many good parties (and sporting events) it kind of ended in a drunken brawl. We took the bird netting off one of the two blueberry bushes, since it was done producing for the year, and Simon thought it made the perfect cat bed. I should mention also that Simon is nine years old today… he’ll get to celebrate later with a party collar and some of his favorite treats. Simon loves his little brother… sometimes. |
