aldersprigWow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything about my life. Can I blame summer?
Yesterday morning, we woke to find the kittens nowhere. I wandered around the house making cat-calling noises for a minute or two - until T noticed that the living room screen was out.
Then came ten heart-stopping minutes of wandering around the yard making cat-calling noises, until we found them hiding under the lilac bush, soaked and miserable. But safe, whole, and healthy. Thank you, god of cats.
Wet? Yes. It's been /pouring/ here. Thursday, I came home from work, started to thaw dinner... and the power went out. A dinner of Subway subs later, we learned that a tornado had touched down in Elmira, an hour away, but all we'd gotten closer to Ithaca was thunder, lightning, and rain.
All this rain has been good for the garden; my tomatoes are going wild. So are my squash and my peppers. It's going to (knock on wood) be a good harvest)
And speaking of wood - we pulled the Horrid Paneling off of the dining room and living room, and found... well, lots of wood, in one wall. "Bare Studs" the size of trees, where plaster and lathe had clearly been removed at some point. The rest of the walls have unpainted but heavily-nailed-in drywall. This is going to be interesting.
How's your summer going?
