Hello! I’ve been away on vacation three weeks, simultaneously fulfilling two longtime dreams; building a catio and attending a barn raising party.
The second was, of course, in spirit, but we built a free standing cat house into an existing (beloved) deck and replaced two-thirds of the deck boards in five days with help of heroic visiting family in possession of know-how and skills and if that’s not what a barn raising party feels like then I don’t know what is.
And fans of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in the audience?
It was really really fun, is what I’m saying, and now I’m “styling it,” because I’m that person. The white deck chair cushions are already covered in muddy little pawprints. I let them dry, and then brush them off with a straw hand whisk broom while the puppy barks at me.
It’s like this with most new things and then she gets with the program.
