Yesterday I was able to spend some time in the backyard with the honey and TKK. The weather was warm off and on sunny. Just a relaxing sunday afternoon with two of my favorites peoples.
That alone would have been perfect, but there's more...
This is the cactus that always blooms when I'm out if town. I wasn't out of town this year when it bloomed and instead of one flower like it normally has it is damn full of flowers!!
Lookie!! Lots more to pop into bloom :D

Those inside bits look weird. o.0
Little TKK was taking in (getting high) her catnip. It's growing all over the place and we have allowed three areas to go crazy with it. These photos are at the biggest area where several plants have made a little maze for her to play in. (It's the spot she will be laid to rest when that time comes... she's 20 & has some lung tumor issues... taking it one day at a time and hoping for the best... they said she'd be gone before winter... they were wrong...she has a good comfy life and is happy.)
Here's what she looks like walking back across the yard after too much time in the catnip. I think she's asking for a snack and a nap. *L*
The other super awesome thing that came from the backyard yesterday was the first harvest of Russian Kale, Spinach & Strawberries!! YAY!!
Last night I sauteed some mushrooms and onions and then tossed in the chopped kale and spinach for a quick minute. Sooooooo good. Best dinner ev-ah!
We also ate the strawberries.
Sweetest strawberries I've had in ages. Sooooooooooooooooooooo Good!!!
Not bad for a Sunday afternoon. :D
Woo Hoo!
Your garden is doing great for it only being May. I love that cat.
