Kitten Love

What's not to love about a pile of cute "purr-balls"? Please welcome the newest addition to the the Apple Dumpling Family...5 (maybe 6) little bundles of purrrrrfection. Yes, little Skippy (aka Roly Poly Skipoly) gave birth to these sweet little balls on Friday, April 27, 2007 sometime early afternoon in the garage. She, of course, had to do it her way and didn't have them in the nice clean nursery we created for her...oh no...she decided the give birth beneath the old dirty bright yellow fringed garden umbrella (see photo).

Skippy did, however, decide the accommodations weren't suitable and moved them to her custom made cottage (aka cardboard box) complete with soft baby blankets and faux-crystal tower (aka Culligan water bottle). Momma and babies are all doing nicely. Fat, happy and I am as always in love with them all. I will try not to bore you with too many photos...say...next week. :)
Kitty Hugs,

Random Acts of Kindness

Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
Take care of your garden
And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine
Kind words and kind deeds.

Author:Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I thought I would start my blog out with something simple and something that speaks about who I am as a person. I like to commit little random acts of kindness whenever I can...simple things...like an e-card...sometimes even when I'm in a bad mood...sending them to others puts ME in a good mood. The act of looking through my favorite e-card sites and reading the words lifts my spirits and energizes my soul.

I hope that you will enjoy reading my blog and that you will find inspiration and it will become a simple "random act of kindness"...and a great place to look at Apple Dumplings. HA!!!

Hugs,

P.S. For those who know me....The KITTENS ARE HERE!!! Photo soon...I promise.
