Yard Work Wednesday

Today was devoted to yardwork: On my yard and on Madre's.

Madre's yard is easier to deal with because, even though the lot it is on is the same size as mine, that lot is taken up by a bigger house, a bigger shed, several gardens and several large trees. There is smaller space for a grassy lawn, and therefore less area to mow. I got it all done — mowing, trimming and fertilizing — in a couple of hours in the morning. I did my own lawn this afternoon.

One of Madre's cats, Sugarpuss, was ill this week, and Madre took him to the vet. It turns out he was bitten on one of his ears. That is hard to do, because his ears are already flatten when he was younger due to earlier bites. But his opponent managed it, and the bite got infected, so Sugarpuss is in the animal hospital in recovery.
