My days have been filled with unpacking and organizing. I seriously thought we had fewer things than we actually do. After all, we hauled off literally truck load after truck load before leaving Texas. The unpacking is almost complete. I still have some organization to finish in the basement, unpacking for our winter recreation room and organizing my sewing and scrap booking supplies.
For the past 2 1/2 weeks ALL my spare time has been filled taking care of a special little guy. About 4-5 weeks ago, our mama cat, Spook, had a litter of 6. Samson, the dog, found the kittens and disrupted the "nest". Unfortunately, Spook abandoned the litter. When we discovered what had happened all but two kittens had passed. We placed the two remaining in a box on a towel wrapped heating pad while I drove 45 miles (one way) to find baby animal formula and an eye dropper. Within three days we were down to one kitten. We estimate that he is now about 5 weeks old. He is teething & today I started him on wet kitten food. I hope to have him weaned within the week. We are still deciding on a name. Some ideas we've had include, patches, miracle and spot.

Fortunately, Old Man Winter has delayed his arrival. Mr.B and I are working hard to get our place ready for snow cover. I plan to post some photos of our area soon. I'd especially like to share one of the the beautiful sunrises I wake up to each morning.
I hope you, my dear readers, have a wonderfully blessed day.
