I'm a ladybug today. Did you know that in England they are called
ladybirds? You don't realize not only the language barrier (bet you
can't spell penguin in Croatian!) but the spelling differences and the
different nomenclature that can make voting difficult for some of our
friends.
We have friends from all over the planet! Where are you from? Do I
have a representative from every state out there?
Rain today. It's really good cuz so much is so dry. We need to get
more grass growing for our herbivore friends. We've been worried that
we might have to start feeding hay and that costs lots and lots of
money. That's one of the things that made last winter cost so very
much. Everybody but the cats and dogs needed hay every day to survive.
At first in the fall it was so wet the grass died, then it was covered
in snow for months and months, then too wet again. Keep your paws
crossed that the weather lets us have good grass all winter.
I'm really glad I get Fancy Feast, not grass. Thank you Barbara for
that whole suv full of Fancy Feast Appetizers!!! And than you the other
Barbara for bringing 50 cases of cat food to me at the festival on
Saturday!!!! We're eating good!!!! And I love eating!

Elizabeth ebw2s@eservices.virginia.edu has a freezer she'd like to
donate to Rikki's Refuge. It's about 4 feet long, two feet wide and
three feet high, so it's not huge, any size pick up or even a small
trailer should do. You'll need to take it out of her basement at Lake
Monticello, so you might want to take help with you for lifting or check
with her to see if she or someone else can help. Lake Monticello is
south east of Charlottesville. Please contact Elizabeth if you can
help. Thanks so much.
