So beautiful! but I'm sad. I've been trying to tame a stray kitty since July, so I could take her to get spayed & have an outdoor cat. We've made some progress-from running as fast as she could if she even caught a glimpse of me anywhere in the yard to letting me open the storm door a crack & drop treats on the door mat while she sits 2 feet away or letting me come slowly out the door & sit in a chair 6 feet from the porch railing where she's eating. Saturday, Charlie discovered that she has 4 kittens in our woodshed. 1 black, 2 gray & a very cute gray & white one who wouldn't come out while I was sitting there. The pictures aren't very good. The sun was going down & I was getting cold.
I told Charlie that I was going to name one of them "Meatloaf" because they're the same size as a loaf pan. Now I have 5 wild kitties to tame & get neutered. I'm guessing that they are between 5-8 weeks old. They have little carrot tails, but they were very interested in the fish & gravy cat food that I put out, so I'm assuming that mom (Billie Jean Bailey) is beginning to wean them.

4in1 sandwich
I have to brag about the sandwiches that I made today. Yesterday I made a 9" round sourdough bread using the starter that I just got from King Arthur I'm very pleased with the sourdough starter:

I got the crock, too. Charlie told me to order whatever I wanted from the catalog, so I got the sourdough & crock & 2 heavy cookie sheets to replace my @*##! "nonstick" ones.
Back to the sandwiches... I used 1 slice of bread from the middle of the loaf, spread butter lightly on 1 side & broiled until toasty. Flipping the slices over, I put Dijon mustard on Charlie's (Yuck). I put ham on 1/2 of the slice & pastrami on the other half. Then dividing in the other direction, I put swiss on half & cheddar on the other half. Under the broiler for a nice melt & bubble. Yum!
