Mom’s friend Aaron’s horse had a baby and he invited mom to go see it! This picture is not of Aaron’s horse and pony, it is a photo of a different friends horse and pony I guess this is the season for ponies to be born! Anyway Aaron and mom finally agreed on a good weekend for the visit but did not pick a specific time and then they both got busy at different times and we never did get to visit. And now the pony has been moved to a different property with hundreds of acres where it can learn to live with other ponies. So we won’t be able to visit for a while.We have a new set of foster kittens! This is DQ who is crazy energetic and does not sit still for cuddling for very long!Here is Wendy! So cute and fluufy and loves to wrestle with DQ.This is Marshmallow ha ha that is a funny name! She is very cuddly and adorable.Sonic is the only boy in the group and at first he really missed his mom and wanted mom to hold him all the time. He would climb up onto her shoulder and try to snuggle in her hair! Now he is bigger and more interested in playing. Mom is glad about that.
Something went wrong with the broccoli. At first they looked sad and pathetic so mom gave them some fertilizer and it must have been the wrong kind that made them flower and not produce any broccoli ha ha! That is fine with me I am a Tiger a carnivore.The snap peas are also not doing so great. Mom bought a different brand of seeds this year and most of them did not sprout. Good thing there is a grocery store nearby where we can buy food.There are lupines growing wild in the field behind our house!Here is the border we have been working on for a few years; there are plants that flower at different times so there is usually something pretty to look at!Auntie Paula went on a trip to Hawaii and sent us a care package of cool stuff and yummy things from both Hawaii and Idaho! Including an awesome flower suncather she made for mom!
We went to the ArtFest put on by the Spokane Museum of Art & Culture! It was Super Fun! With some really terrific art and artists!Here I am with Samba who is an amazing weaver from Sierra Leone! He is using elephant grass from his home country to make baskets that he weaves by hand it is really incredible he can weave so fast! Sometimes he also dyes the grass using natural ingredients like plant roots. Samba was really nice and super handsome but not quite as handsome as me/This is the basket we bought from Samba it is so beautiful and is the Perfect Size for a Little TIGER! Notice that I have a bead necklace made by Samba’s wife and also a piece of the elephant grass that has been twisted into a thin rope.There was live music at the festival too! This is Spokane Taiko; they perform Japanese-style Taiko drumming it was awesome!We have new foster kittens!!!! This is Cami and she has beauticul cinnamon-colored swirls through her fur! She was really unsociable at first and didn’t want anything to do with mom but now Cami likes petting and cuddling and being picked up.And this is Vixen who has a face that reminds us of a fox. She is smaller and younger than Cami even though they arrived together in the same group of kittens, and Vixen would not eat at first so mom had to syringe-feed her for a few days. Now she eats like a champ and is gaining weight fast! It is so fun to have foster kittens again!
