Is it a laundry carrier, or a cat nest? It's both!

While in Denver I did make it to a Rockies game, and it turned out to be Rockies laundry tote day. We were early, so were among the lucky 10,000 or so who got this folding tote made of wire and cloth. It folds flat to about 18"x14", and pops open to a square, sloping-sided container with cloth handles.

I unfolded it yesterday, and Fish promptly turned it on one side and decided it was a cat nest. He dragged a couple of toys into it, and played in and around it for a while before going back to other spots for the day. Then the tote migrated into the computer room today, but he remained uninterested.

A little while ago I heard Agatha growling her "leave me alone, pest!" growl, and turned around to reinforce the message for her. To my surprise, she was in the tote, and Fish was just in front, poking at her.

Fish and Agatha

She left but returned later, and the cycle repeated. Fish has now taken possession, as the desirability of the tote has gone way up with Agatha's interest.

Gardening

Been a while since I spent some real time in the garden. Last weekend would have been ideal for tackling the weeds, as it had rained the entire week before. However, I was in a post-travel veg-out mode and did nothing. This week was dry, so no weeding--it'll be much easier and more effective if I wait 'til things are moist.

I did plant blue star creeper between some of the stepping stones leading to my brother's house. what did get done in the garden this weekend )
