I always dreamed of having a Victorian, or prairie style ' kitchen garden', with a separate entrance to the kitchen, and of course an herb garden with a lot of lavender.
Straw hats, pinafores, hedgehogs, troublesome rabbits, and a deer or two who visit in the early dawn. A root cellar for the potatoes, carrots and cabbages, a pantry whose shelves are filled with neatly labelled home canned, and preserved goods.... but this must remains at present just a little daydream, as I have to make do with the garden I do have in the residential area we live in.
My 6 strawberry plants I bought some years ago have multiplied, and even though I gave some baby plants away, I had to expend and use my other box for the strawberries and make a new box for the salads, and pumpkins I had hitherto planted in flower pots.
Alain and Rosy helped me, and with some old planks I had under the porch we made a new veg. box. Now I have a place for salads, the pumpkins, some thyme, and flowers I had no place to put anywhere else.

Then, as if I never have enough to do I sort of got myself into a little bit of cute trouble by adopting a new kitty.
So, meet Moumousse our new little friend. If only the old cats, and the dog would warm up to him a little more. The cats have chosen to ignore us and the new kitten, while the dog is too curious and makes the kitty nervous- she did get a little swat from kitty when her doggy nose got a little too close.....

On the other hand, here is where I found my husky- sleeping on Emilie's bed, and cuddling with the giraffe.

| What a spoiled dog ! |
