Hello August! For once in a very long time, we’re happy to see you come along. We know, strange, huh? Well, June was nice and July was almost as nice, nice meaning it wasn’t broiling every single day. We’d like to believe you’ll bring nothing but nice weather the entire month too, but with you being August and all . . . let’s not count those chickens just yet.
Viola’s inspecting the very last of our blueberries before we freeze them for winter muffin-making. We’re so fortunate to have several food inspectors here at Colehaus. Tessa inspects every package of ground turkey and used to be head cheese taster until cheese got way too expensive. We think she misses it more than we do.
Viola, like Olivia before her, loves to get her eyeballs on any fruit we bring into the house. Unlike Olivia who politely left fruit to its own devices after inspection, Viola doesn’t stop there. Nope. So, the inspector has her own inspectors now and hardly any fruit ends up rolling away under the refrigerator. That makes Mom very happy.

We’re sure your inspector duties are appreciated.
No fruit inspectors here at Eastside Cats, but a bag of onions makes Chili Bruce go mental; it’s the papery crinkle.

Viola, you are too funny. XO
We understand, Viola. We always thought whapping is part of the fruit inspection process. Is that wrong???
Our cats don’t inspect our food unless they think they will get some.
You are giving a very thorough inspection, Viola.
