Lena Rocks

We recently discovered that there is a place where you can rent canoes for the day to go by yourself down the Edisto river so one day this week we went.  It was the most amazing day… very easy to find your peace on the river and it’s a very romantic thing to do with your loved one – as long as the helicopters stay away   So annoying when they disturb the peace… and there were even two different ones.

The river is fast enough to not even have to paddle and next time I do it I will bring my good camera and hope that the sun is out.  The place is a huge wildlife reserve and there is a lot of wildlife to look at.  The turtles are a little shy and will jump into the water when they hear you coming so you have to sneak up on them   I did manage to get a picture of one…  There are supposedly alligators there as well but we didn’t see any.

So Mamacat managed to get herself knocked up before we could take her to the vet and we now have a fresh batch of kittens… I guess she figured we liked the last ones so much that she would make more   This time I got to be there and she seemed to really enjoy my company.  I was pretty amazed at the birth since she was so in control of the whole process and so blissfully happy the whole time   She would pop one out, clean it up, clean herself up, let the kitten get settled and then pop another one out, purring and stretching happily the whole time.

They are now three weeks old and have recently opened their eyes.  I took some pictures since there are a couple of people who wanted to see what they look like.  They are starting to toddle around in the box but don’t really have that much body control yet… but are getting stronger every day.  Right now they seem to be practicing – sitting… and they are getting pretty good at it

Having kittens in the house is such a joy since there is always cuteness, learning and play going on and I can sit there and watch them forever…
