Tidbits


Liana had her birthday party on Sunday, and Violet had a great time with the crafts and games. Here, they're making bracelets and necklaces. Happy 9th, Liana!
Violet had her 9-year well check this week, and her growth has been amazing! She is now 50 1/4 inches tall, putting her in the 19th percentile. She weighs 62 pounds, which is the 44th percentile. Such great news!  On the other hand, her eyesight has deteriorated. We noticed her squinting while wearing her glasses, and the quickie eye chart test showed that she definitely needs her prescription adjusted. I've made an appointment with the optometrist.
The weather has been amazing, and strange; lovely and cool, we haven't had to run our main air conditioner all year! We've had a few warm days, in the upper 80s, but many more days in the 60s and low 70s. This has been perfect for Cora, playing on the hill. (The more heat, the more risk of snakes.) Jake and Char were over Friday afternoon, and besides the hill, the kids played games. 
The girls took in roses for their teachers, as part of an organized Teacher Appreciation event, and I was inspired to cut some more to bring in. They smelled amazing!

Our kitties like hanging out by the bird bath. They present such welcoming, friendly faces to any feathered friends looking for a drink or bath.
But our cats aren't always wannabe killers...
