lovecatsandsunshine	Posted - Jun 01 2023 : 11:53:04 AM Howdy from South Carolina! I'm Tara. My husband and 2 Siamese cats live in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Garden zone 7B. I named my property Sweetgrass Pond. I love Sweetgrass and want to plant some in this space. I'm going to add a cottage garden to part of small space between side porch and corner of house. I thought I'd bring you along for my journey. This is my project, I'll be doing all the work myself. And this project will take months. I'm waiting on a potting bench to be delivered and that will go under the 2 windows. I have to work around meters, hose reel and cable lines. The 165 gallon pond has been installed in the back yard, 1 of many projects and my husband and I added a small beachy area. I'll take a picture of the pond and share it with ya'll soon. I'd like to plant flowers in colors of peach, coral, pinks and white I love seashells, sea turtles, dragonflies and frogs. I can't live at the ocean , but I'm happy to be in the mountains again. And I may share pictures of other projects or what's happening on the property. Suggestions are welcome for garden ideas. Today's good mood brought to you by coffee Farmgirl #8548 FGOTM April 2023

lovecatsandsunshine	Posted - Dec 21 2025 : 3:34:03 PM Ruby has made progress in healing. At this time my vet says to hold off on scan. Ruby has re check of eye pressure. The reading is good. I knew the swelling came from her mouth. she still has vision loss and none of the vets can tell me if she will regain site. I'm glad I insisted her teeth be pulled. Vet said in some cats there is an inflammation/infection of gums but not cause rotten teeth. 15 days of antibiotics and pain meds and Ruby is acting like a kitten. We cancelled appt with specialist. Keep us in your prayers, this has been a rough month. I haven't baked cookies yet. Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!! Farmgirl in SC Farmgirl #8548 FGOTM April 2023
