Long weekend, how I am happy to see you!

June! The weeds are thick and grassy everywhere. Our back rose bed is full of cat shit, too, from all the neighbor cats that apparently think it&#8217;s the perfect outdoor litter box. Not looking forward to weeding that, I can tell you! I haven&#8217;t heard of any reliable way to keep the cats out of there, either, short of fencing it somehow.<\/p>\n<p>I just looked out the window and the little boy next door has written a message in water on the side of their garage in giant letters.
