Charlie and George help with flowers

This summer we’re behind on everything. Every. Damn. Thing. But we finally went to a nursery and bought a bunch of annuals to plant in our deck pots and the front flower bed. We have all kinds of bright deliciousness…

But, y’know, we’re behind. Charlie and George were on the back deck examining the pitiful state of the few survivors in pots from last year and Charlie decided it was time to sort us out—because there aren’t enough flowers to attract hummingbirds, and it’s not a fun summer without hummingbirds to leap at.

Charlie: Right then, George. Let’s just stride over to the other deck and get this done.
George: [sensibly silent]

As we all know, however, cats are not the most focused, hard-working beasties in the world. So when Charlie got to the other deck and saw the amount of work to be done, well, let’s just say is response was predictable.

Sometimes just thinking about work can overcome a hero.

But never fear! We need to find some begonias—haven’t been able to find good ones yet this year—and then we will leap into action. Soon. Ish. And get those decks sorted. Stay tuned!
