I love my cats, all 3 of them. But this week I discovered that they can do a number on garden plants.
The plant in question -Valerian (herb). See how I found it on Friday. (top) I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't leave it alone. All of them took a turn. Rolling in it. And when I would shoo them away, they would come right back.
Then Saturday...completely keeled over. (the middle photo) I finally googled it and found that Valerian smells like catnip to them. Good bye, Valerian. Hello, kitties.
I make soap for a small business called Saipua (it now belongs to my daughter Sarah and her partner, Eric.) You can read all about that on the Saipua blog.
I have my own small business, Creekside Soaps, that makes equipment for soapmakers. (www.creeksidesoaps.com) I don't actually make the equipment...my husband does that. I pack, ship and do the bookkeeping.
So, I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do I like to do the things below. Not much interferes with my Mah Jongg game. I play once or twice each week.
