The little kittens are just over 2 weeks old and their eyes are open. They are wiggly and so cute. One is gray (like mama), one is black and white, and the other is black and white with a brownish foot and spot on his face. They are so adorable.

Persephone (mama) has moved them once again, out of the corner behind the fern to a chair pillow I had placed on the balcony for her to sleep in when she showed up. It is more comfortable for them, I am sure.

I was even allowed to touch them. She did not seem to mind since I am her adopted mama. I then pet her and told her she was a good mama.

Any comments on what to expect about their growing up will be greatly appreciated. I have never had a cat, much less kittens, as I think I told you before; so it is totally new to me.

Since there were only 3 babies, I hope I can find homes for them. I have been told that once Persephone has weaned them, she will not be upset when I find them homes.

I plan on getting her fixed. A friend gave me a vet's name who will do it cheaply since she is a stray.

As far as Sebastian, the big black part Persian, is concerned, I have not seen him since he sneaked a look at the kittens. I understand from neighbors, that he sleeps at the gate to my patio at night to protect them. I really want to adopt him and make an inside kitty again. Riley likes him, and Sebastian will roll on his back when Riley comes to him. I think they would get along well inside.

I guess I will sign off and continue my isolation and rerun watching on TV.

I am staying in place because of the Coronavirus 19. I am well and coping pretty well.

I also hope all of you reading this are well and coping. I have been watching an awful lot of TV (reruns) and Roku, too. At night I read. Last night I woke up after a few hours sleep and then read a book. I have to slow down or the ones a friend gave me will run out. I cannot let that happen. I have read most of them already, but with my age, I do not usually remember who the killer is. Christie said long ago that a mystery reader is a positive person - they know it will turn out OK in the end.

So dear friends, I hope it will all turn out OK in the end. I heard that this week it is going to be BAD. I hope it is not bad for you and I plan on doing all I can to keep isolated. with my health conditions, I am a walking candidate for this illness.

I wll try to post often and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy I notice I have used the word HOPE quite a bit in this post. I guess that is very approriate now.

How quickly things change in a few weeks. I am now housebound like I was when I created this website, only this time it is not my living in the middle of nowhere, but housebound to keep safe and healthy.

I take my dog, Riley, out for a morning walk and see neighbors on their balconies (a safe distance away) and we get caught up. Many have been laid off their jobs, others are retired like I am, and a few are still working in grocery stores, etc. 

I can order food from a local grocery store to be delivered, so far, and my pantry and freezer are full. I have this laptop and social websites to use. It is funny that I am even communicating with neighbors through Facebook, messaging.

Well, this post is to let you know, all you loyal followers that I have renewed for another year and hope to post often. Thank you for reading my site and my posts. I have plenty of time to see if I can expand the pages now - much like I did all those years ago in North Carolina.
