The Stars, a Camellia and Mamie the cat

A few days ago I told you

 about my camellia bush

 HERE.  Since I am trying

 to finish things I start, here

are the promised pictures.

And here is the poor little bush

 below.   Later in the spring I think

I will transplant it again into a

larger pot.   And religiously

 fertilize and water it more. 

 In the background you can see 2

 hot pink chairs.   The one on the

 right has a feral cat that I have

 been feeding regularly the past

 few months.   Actually she has been

around for 4 years.  In fact, she

 is one of the cats we got spayed

(we fixed close to 15 cats), but

 not before she had 3 kittens, which

 we were able to catch and tame

for adoption.  Well, actually one was

 quite the hellion, which is why I

 named her Angel (I kept wanting to

 call her devil cat) but she loved to

 be rubbed on her tummy and

 would tolerant being picked up

 for a minute or two.   Finally a friend

 with 40 acres took her a couple of

years ago and she is doing well

 in her new home.  I didn't want

 to re-release her here as when we

 move I would feel responsible to

take her.  Her mama, Mamie (my neighbor named her that) used to

 spend more time at his place, but

for some reason decided to come

 stay with us for awhile.   That is

 why I put a pillow and towel on the

 chair for her to sleep on.  But she

 doesn't sleep there at night.   I

don't know where she goes, but I

suspect she sleeps under one of

the sheds.   She still runs off a little

 when I feed her, but lately has

 been staying within several feet. 

  She is a funny little cat, but aren't

they all?   :o)   I just remembered,

 I have a pic of her......shown below

 and taken a couple of months ago.

She is mottled multi-color gray.

I couldn't find the author

 of this quote either.

True sentiment...

wouldn't you agree?
