Monday-Tuesday

Digging his way to China.
Frank is the only cat I know that's trying to dig his way to China.
First he dug up the Irises.

Then he pushed the bricks out of his way that were positioned behind the Irises to keep him from digging under the fence...and dug his way out.

 I'm still trying to figure out how he moved those bricks. Though we did have a cat (who inspired Shardai) that would drag around a five pound weight by the rope it was attached too. Oh yes, and periodically knocked over the sectional couch.

AND...




AND.... Still growing. The bee balm is up to my chest. It's time to stop streaking skyward and concentrate on blooming:)
Hostas…



AND....I spent my weekend with this little guy and his sibs and mom, while the HH and our son went to see the Cubs play in Washington D.C. Cubs won one. Lost one.

It sounds like your weekend was bliss.
Frank is definitely a cat to be reckoned with.
Love your garden too.

Valerie-Jael said...

Your cat has a mind of his own, a sometimes wicked one! That bee balm was perhaps planted by Jack of Beanstalk fame? Love the video, too. Hugs, Valerie

Valerie-Jael said...

And that little boy is such a cutie!

Pat Hatt said...

haha nothing is going to stop him. Sounds like a good weekend indeed.

No idea what bee balm is. Frank sounds very determined to get somewhere but I don't think he would like China. Great family time by the sound of it.

You have one strong cat.

Christine said...

Aww what a cutie!

CJ Kennedy said...

Gotta love Frank. A cat does what a cat wants to do. Your grandson is adorable. Just wait until he can dig up the irises! :-D

Hi Sandra - we certainly learn what our pets can do ... the plants they like and then the brick walls they hate! Still he's obviously much loved as he's back on your bed ...

Your grandson looks delightful - congratulations to the family and what a lovely weekend that must have been - cheers Hilary

How weird can gets be?
Sounds like you had a great time.

Birgit said...

I am certain you love picking up your little grand baby. You Bee Balm is growing fast and can’t wait to see the blooms. Our flowers are finally looking good. Have a beautiful day

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Did you give Frank a magic shovel for digging to China?

Sandra said...

Frank certainly has a mind of his own:)
Thanks, EC.
Hope all is well.

Sandra said...

He certainly does have a mind of his own. Heh.
You may be on to something about Jack. I think he also dropped some other seeds in the garden;)
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra said...

He's a mini-me of his daddy.

Sandra said...

He certainly works it. We're currently putting stakes in front of the bricks:) We'll see.

Sandra said...

Monarda. I call them Bad Hair Flowers because the petals are so quirky.
Ha. No, he probably wouldn't like China, but you can't tell him anything:)

Sandra said...

For sure. Especially when its time to put him in his carrier:)

Sandra said...

He's a mini me of his daddy:)

Bleubeard could get out of a locked back screen door. I even tied it with a hooked tie down, and he can still get out. If they set their minds to it, they will do it. Frankie included.

Darling grandson (?). He's a cutie, that's for sure. Looks like your weekend was far better than mine, especially when I lost power for nearly 24 hours.

Adam said...

We thought about watching the Nationals while in DC, but didn't have the time.

Sandra said...

Oh thanks for that thought, CJ:) Heh.

Sandra said...

He is a pistol, but yes, we love him:)
The Grand is a delight. Thanks, Hilary.
Cheers,

Sandra said...

It was fun seeing the grands.

Sandra said...

There's nothing like holding a baby is there?
You'll have to post pictures of your flowers for us.

Sandra said...

Heh. Did Bubba and Squirt have one?

Sandra said...

Thanks, Yvonne;)

Sandra said...

That's exactly what he was saying! How did you know, FSG?:)
Luckily, he does stay close. We're in the process of checking out edging to put around the fence. Little dickens.

Sandra said...

That Bleubeard is an escape artist for sure.
Yes, it's a boy. A mini-me of my son.
No power for 24 hrs??!! Ack. How are things now?

Sandra said...

There's just so much to do in DC, isn't there, Adam?

Jeanie said...

You raise strong cats up there in your neck of the woods! Really? Boy, Lizzie is such a woos by comparison!

Love your sweet one. You must be over the moon!

Lowcarb team member said...

Aww … what a lovely way to spend your weekend.
He is a cutie :)

All the best Jan
