In hopes of a cherry pie.

Today we were out cleaning up around the property again and planted the cherry tree from Riley and Bradley. Today is Brad's 2nd birthday so it will be easy to remember the date. We decided to plant it right where the old log building stood. We'll be seeding the ground and adding wildflowers next Spring. I hope this tree loves it out here. I can't wait to bake that first cherry pie for the grand-kids.

Oh yes....we had a visitor. You knew we would, didn't you? Over the stone wall he came when he heard us walking about. I think he looks forward to our visits and watches for us now. The retired-guy thinks he is a girl. Well, it is hard to tell with this cat so I'm sticking with calling him Davey for now. You know...King of the wild frontier. He was such a character today; keeping me amused while I raked & moved rocks around. Look at this mug...
 All you have to do is touch him and he falls over.
I still don't know where he lives for sure but I'm starting to think he might be our next door neighbour. :)
I brought him out some kibble today and he wasn't all that interested. He had two bites and went off in search of a tasty mouse.

"Happy 2nd Birthday to our grandson, Bradley."
These grand-kids sure are growing fast. 
We'll be celebrating on Sunday.

hugs, Deb

    Happy Birthday to Bradley!

    I must think that if your neighbour cat was a stray, he'd look much scruffier, as opposed to sleek. He just likes being out all day and making his - or hers- appointed rounds.

    ….gosh that must be one 'devil' of a chocolate cupcake! What a great expression on his face - many, many happy birthdays little Bradley.

    'Davey' is so adorable - and even his tummy is striped isn't it?

    Hope your tree produces many pounds of sweet cherries in the years to come Deb.

    Hugs - Mary

    Happy birthday Bradley! Great that Davey knows you're a cat - lover. He looks so cuddly. I like his markings. Good show on planting a cherry tree! Near our home town in South Africa , there are large cherry farmers. Around October/November there is a famous Ficksburg Cherry Festival. Have a wonderful weekend. Jo

    Davey is adorable!
    Good luck with the cherry tree, I love fresh cherries and miss my trees so much. Just a note, if you didn't know, cherry trees need to cross polinate so hopefully there's another one nearby or that you plan to plant another nearby.
    good luck!

    Happy Birthday to Bradley. Hope you have a great celebration. "Davey" is almost as beautiful as Sierra. His markings are wonderful. Hope he is your next door neighbor.
