Great job team!! So much fun in the kitchen:). Brownies are my weakness!

I’ve been busy with the colony of cats in our neighborhood. I have one little guy that’s about 3 months old that I’m nourishing. He was the last of a litter that was difficult to catch. We finally got him after we discovered the first havaheart trap was malfunctioning!! I have him in a large cage inside the house now. He’s super sweet but still needs to be hand tamed so I can get it spayed or neutered! We try so hard to capture the adult cats but haven’t been successful. They’re really smart!! Looks like rain today, so no yard sales today. It’s ok. This little kitty is keeping me busy!

Hope you have a great weekend:). Love to everyone:)
