The one thing keeping you from stitching

Little Twerp - the new kitten DH picked up on his way home a few weeks ago. I was just starting to get into the big stitching projects again, now that Fichu (first kitten) was a year old in April when DH came home one day from town. A few minutes later a plump roly poly kitten trotted across the living room floor. There were cars pulled off of the county road so DH pulled over too to see what was going on and there was a young boy with a box of kittens. There were two left when DH stopped so he took the female. There was about a week of growling and hissing but they're now becoming friends. There is LOTS of kitty chasing and wrestling going on but, if I sneak down the hall and peek into the bedroom, I frequently spy a "ball of cat" on the bed, where all four eyes will be closed & I can't tell where one cat leaves off and the other begins. Little Twerp is definitely at the "catch anything that moves" stage, though (11 weeks today), so the big stitching projects are back in their pillow cases. :-))

My work season starts on Oct. 25 unless the Harry & David mail orders start flooding in and they call us back a week or so earlier. I was hoping to have found a "real" job (with health insurance!) by now but, since I haven't, I'm looking forward to getting back to the extended somewhat dysfunctional seasonal family. :-) Not sure how the pear season was this year since we had a seemingly interminable winter that lasted through May but the orchard people know what they're doing and we've had a beautiful summer.
