We Take a Break from the Garden!

We interrupt Tina's regularly scheduled garden talks so Orkin can say:

"Meow! Purr-purrrrr! I am one fat and happy cat hanging out in my box....

in the garden...."

  9. That's a great name for you kitty Tina! One of my favorite cats of all time was our orange tiger stripe Tigger, who grew up with my kids and lived to 17 years. Orkin looks just like him!

  10. Hi Tina,
    That sure is a handsome fellow you have there. I can see why he is the "cat's meow".

  13. I thought Orkin was a girl... Hum, either way a beautiful kitty that reminds me of my beloved Skeeter! OJ the orange kitty next door is starting to join us in the garden! Yeah, I have a garden buddy now! I hope to see very few moles and voles this year due to my new buddy... Watch out birds!

  14. Hi all! Good morning!

    Yes, great day in the garden today. Lots and lots to do-does it ever end? Orkin is a little girl, however she does not mind being called a boy or anything else at all, as long as she has her food, her box and her comfy outside chairs. Back to the garden I go!! Hi ho! I am not sure if my feeder is working right on Blogger, if I miss some blogs, this may be the reason. Sorry-hopefully it will clear up soon as it has been behaving badly-anyone else with issues with it? I am still checking Blotanical, and Stuart posted he is trying to fix the picks issue. It will work out:) ciao!

  19. Hi Tina,I finally got here! It's been a long time. I'm at a new house, with a new garden and new challenges, and as you know, I'm not really a gardener, so I'll need some help!

  20. Orkin is profound! And the look on his/her face says "Of course I'm gorgeous, and you're right to admire me."

  21. Tina you're right, Orkin does look a lot like Tommy! He even has the same knowing expression.

  22. Tina,

    Orkin is a cute little girl! :-)

    I'm right with you Tina... I have been playing blog hooky to be out in the garden.

    Cheers,

  23. Great day today all! I am so glad to hear you all are also enjoying the garden in some way or another-even northern readers and those getting snow!

  24. Hi Tina, Orkin sure is a handsome fellow.
    FYI you have mistakenly thought I was still living in New Zealand. I actually live on Whidbey Island WA and have for the past 28 years.

  29. What a sweetie! Orkin looks very content.

    Just catching up with posts today, and I see how busy you have been planting your renovated planter--looks good! And I'm happy you found a solution to the squirrel damage on your crabapple. I hope it has a few more blooms for you this spring. You know I never really noticed lichen before--very interesting. And I vote to leave the moss around your pavers:)

  30. Orkin? I bet there's a story behind that name. He's a good looking fellow all right! :)
