Cabin Cove

Good morning!
I hope you’re enjoying your Saturday. It’s a cold and rainy day here in Boston. And, I’ve been at work since 6:30 this morning.
It’s also New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Festival weekend. I’m actually glad that I’m not there this weekend because I lived through attending that during the Great Flood of 2006. I know folks like Norma and Carole will be there.

So, if you’re looking for sunshine and pretty pictures, don’t forget to check out Lens On Boston. There is always something pretty to look at over there, daily.

Have a great weekend, and stay warm and dry. Knit or spin something, and think of me.

This is Coriander. She’s one of the cats that I mentioned in a previous post. On my way to work, I pass a series of warehouses in the meat packing district, and there are a number of strays around. I told a woman at work about them, she volunteers at Kitty Angels, a cat rescue organization. Lesa has been going over on a daily basis and feeding the cats. One day a few weeks ago, she was able to catch Corriander, and brought her to their shelter. A vet looked her over, gave her a check up and shots, and has been fostering at Lisa’s house for a couple of weeks. She says that Cori is an adorable and affectionate cat with LOTS of free purrs and head butts. She can’t believe that such a sweet cat had been living in the streets through the winter.

Anyway, it does a heart good when you can help, and I’m glad I could help get one more kitty off the streets. One of her companions, Rosemary, will be off the streets soon, too. (Lisa has been naming this group of cats after cooking herbs, since they are all in the meat packing district! But, chervil is NOT a cat name!)

You can read about Coriander here: Kitty Angels, and this is her photo from their site:

Yeah, I know it’s Wednesday. It’s not here any more, it’s HERE, remember?

And, by request, YES, I’d love to sell some of my recent handspun, so a bunch of it’s been listed in the Cabin Cove Mercantile.

Hope you’re having a great week. It’s almost the weekend, for those who aren’t working the long Mother’s Day weekend coming up. (Don’t ask…)
 

And, for the fans of Miss Lulu, here are two recent photos of the Little Princess.

She’s either sun bathing…

…or napping.

It’s a rough life, but someone’s gotta do it.
