#Spring cleaning 2023
- Bert, the toolman was back this week to help my Spring cleaning in the garden.
- I have a hard wood deck…but after a year there appears a “moss” on the wood.
- Walking on the deck during the winter (rain, hail, snow)
- …is as slippery as walking on ice!
- Thank goodness for pressure washers!
- The cats appeared after the job was done….very noisy machine.

- As you can see I’ve created a cat friendly “fence” in the backyard.
- Ben and Jerry can gawk at the birds…and still stay in safe on the deck.

No respect for my plants!

Reminds me of Snoopy saying: “Curse you Red Baron” in the cartoon strip! Jerry has his eye’s on a pigeon!


- But the tool man had one more surprise …not for me…but for JERRY.
- The cat lives in his “private gated community” but yearns to look above the fence.
- There are a few wood pigeons that drive him crazy in the morning.
- Now he can get up close and personal and…
- show them who’s the boss in this neck of the woods!
- Bert made a very special “lookout post” for the cat.
- Jerry sits there constantly!
- So this ends….the April KITCHEN journal
- …and I must get back to reading books!




Ben was hesitant…but finally dared to make the leap and enjoy the view!

- Perfect ending to a very busy month of April…
- Hasselback Tomatoes and Pinot Grigio wine!

I love your cat friendly deck!
Cats can run around, play, climb, sunbathe and do not bother neighbors in their yards. The pergolas give me the shade during heat waves. Once I open the garden doors my living area is half house half garden in the Spring/Summer/Fall. My sunny safe place…
Sounds delightful Nancy
What a great deck for the kitties!!!! Love it!
