Everyone is waiting for the news: "She's going to have her babies today!" "How do you know?" "I wonder how many she'll have!" "Will they look just like her?" "Will she be a good mommy??" Of course! God made this day special from start to finish! Our field is finished being 'sprigged' with Coastal Bermuda grass. Now we need some rain for the roots to grow! After a few glitches, the garden was rototilled and is ready to plant once the fence will keep the critters out. Fertilizer was put down and tilled in. We just need to get the wire fence up.

And now ..... today's biggest news! Mid afternoon, after a loud meow, Kitty had her first kitten, a little female. About 15-20 minutes later, a little brother was born. So between 3 and 5 PM, Kitty had 4 kittens. She seemed pretty worn out and barely licked the 4th kitten. I thought I was going to have to help her, but the little critter had stamina. By the time the last one was born, the first one was nice and dry and fluffy. So, here's the new little family!!

Shortly after that we had some heavy rain for a short time which watered our new spriggs followed by sunshine and a rainbow!! All is good! While writing this, another thunder shower just came through, so our field is well-watered!!
