Great surprize this morning

I always open the blind on the kitchen door first thing in the morning, I saw something black and yellow on the porch, mercy there was 4 kittens and one cat, 3 black ones and one yellow and one grey tabby cat (which was not the momma cat) (must have been the baby sitter). I went back to the bedroom and got hubby out of the bed, he was sure I was kidding him. They look to be about old enough to wean. It was raining hard early part of the morning, I was not sure they could eat solid food, boy was I wrong, they flew into the cat food hubby put out like they were right at home. Finally momma cat and an old tom (feral cat) we have been feeding for a couple years, momma is mostly black with a little yellow and big green eyes. She has been here to eat off and on since Feb. We had not seen her for a month or so...Everyone ate hung around in the garden, which is fenced in area, for a few hours, now off to where feral cats go. Sure hope the kittens keep coming around. I will try to get some pic's of them.

Yep in this heat wave we loaded our cargo trailer

It is 101 degrees in Talbott as I write this post, hubby and I packed our cargo trailer for the Gatlinburg show today, everything we had on was soaking wet, we must be crazy to do this for a living and then again we have a lot of friends who are just as nuts. At least we are close to home and get to sleep in our own beds, this is better than traveling and and staying in hotels....I like home and the garden is producing a lot of tomatoes right now and it needs to be watered every day. When it does finally rain I think I will just stand out in it.
Lots of new designs for this show greeting cards, postcards, bookmarks, giclee prints and a Smoky Mountain Mandala canvas print.. Come see us at the convention center July 16- 24...

Getting Ready for the Gatlinburg show

I am busy trying to get everything together for the show in July at Gatlinburg, less than a month to have it all together, the older I get the slower I go. Its not like I have not had plenty of time, now its crunch time..
I could say I work better under pressure...

 New size bookmarks with new images, 4 seasons mini prints of the Great Smoky Mountains mat size 8 x 10,  new greeting cards, new post-cards. I have a lot of printing to get finished. Today I am painting and I do need to get back at it, my helpful elves are as old as I am. Its is hotter than the hinges of hell here today, so we will be trying to stay cool, I think the good lord is trying to tell us something. Anywho I'm hoping everyone is staying cool.

Day off in the park Bay's Mountain, Lunch with a squirrel and 2 deer

Well today my hubby said "let's take today off, it's rainy" Never let it be said that I let that pass. So I packed a couple of ham sandwiches, some water and chips and off to Kingsport's Bay's Mountain park. It was a little muggy, nice breeze, we found a picnic table and started on lunch, I looked up and here came a squirrel heading right at us, OK, I thought it's friendly, so it sat and putting its little paws on its tummy as to say I'm hungry too, did this twice as it move toward us, OK I am a pushover when it comes animals, I threw it a piece of bread, it ate its fill and left I looked up here was a small deer, of course I had to give it something too, My hubby is as big of a pushover as I am. In a few more minutes Bambie's mother was there too. Needless to say I was still hungry we  left the table. We had a nice walk in the park saw the wolves, deer. Seems like most of the animals were tucked in today. Nothing like a walk in nature to soothe your soul..If you are ever in Kingsport Tn take a short drive to Bays Mountain park, it is worth the 3.00 a car.  But Beware the squirrel tells the rest of the animals about your food. Happy Days.
