This is what happens ...

... when you make-over a room and don't use it.

Josh and I usually hang out in the family room (where the TV is) and I guess since we seldom use the living room the pets have decided its their room. I woke them up when I took this photo but they are usually in there napping - and I love how they each have their own chair/sofa!

Fresh cut fruit

For some reason Monkey claims any box we put on the floor as his new bed. He turns up his nose at his soft cat bed, but can't wait to curl up in a cardboard box. This cat is odd. This is his latest bed (which is going in the recycling bin tomorrow - sshhh don't tell him):


My favorite part of the photo is the look on his face - its like he was thinking "get that camera out of my face".

Not much to report

Josh and I are total homebodies so we like nothing more than hanging out at home with our pets. We've been doing a lot of that lately so there is a definite lack of exciting updates for the blog. So instead here are some random shots I've taken lately.

The heirloom tomato plant finally has (one) fruit! I am super excited because I was convinced the plant was a dud. The cherry tomato plant currently has about 60 (yes, I counted) tomatoes in various stages of growth. A friend suggested I vibrate the flowers with an electric toothbrush to increase pollination and it appears to be working.

Zeke still enjoys posing for glamour shots. He's nice :-)

Monkey is getting used to Zeke - I think eventually they'll be friends. Hobbes is still not interested.

We've been going to the park almost everyday so Zeke can play with his friends. Josh is always good about taking water for them - he's a good dad :-)

We are STILL working on the living room - we may never be done in here.

Monkey is still the cutest cat in the world.

Sun bathing

Today I should hem the sliding door curtains ... but then what will Monkey lie on when he takes his cat naps?

Today is Monkey and Hobbes' 6th birthday!

To celebrate I am posting some of my favorite photos of them. They are my darlings and were my only friends when I first moved to California and didn't know anyone.
