Today, tile is going up in our shower. A little bit was done late last Friday; we’ve been assured today the rest will go up. If so, tomorrow, grouting begins, and in a few days, sealant goes onto the grout (which also contained sealant). Mom is a HUGE anti-fan of grout but the alternative, in her mind, is just as bad. At least we were smart enough to not put tile on the shower floor!

Last Friday, some ants wandered in when workers were coming and going and Quint and Mom have been on ant-watch ever since. While not a good at spotting them as Pia is; she’s a Master bug hunter, Quint’s got sharp eyes and Mom’s quick with the Zevo “pet-safe” bug spray.

Of course, Tessa’s “helping” watch for ants. “Nothing here,” she assures us. Sure, Tessa, whatever you say. Don’t let ants bother your nap.

I think I see one, Mom! Is that an ant? What is that creepy crawly thing??

Where? Oh, hey! That’s not very nice, Olivia! Viola is NOT an ant!

We’ve got bloopers! Yet, this one of Olivia hiding from workers under covers we adore. And yet, it’s blurry, so, Blooper!

Never wake a Viola up suddenly. Also, don’t let Tessa do the waking up part.

Mom swears she did not take this photo. Also, Tessa isn’t saying who did.

Ditto for this photo. Mom adds that her camera doesn’t even take photos this close and yet, here this is. Clearly, it’s a mystery.

How is it Pia’s fur looks so, Pia-like while her head is all a blurry mess? Was she moving, shaking her head, looking away? No one knows. No one’s confessing.

One cat probably knows, but he’s out of here!

Our area was cleared of all fire evacuation orders as of Wednesday evening and today, rain is scheduled. It’s the first real rain we will have had in months and that has to be good for helping put out the three wildfires burning northeast of us. Thank you for your good thoughts. They helped!

THANK YOU to a special Friend of Colehaus who sent us some Pure Bites, the chicken catnip treats we save for our outside cat visitors. Now we have enough to let inside kitties enjoy some. THANK YOU!

Oh, to be an indoor cat on these warm, sunny autumn days. We’re hoping for rain sometime in the next week or two and cooler daytime temperatures, not that Viola or Tessa care one whit about either. They have their cozy, comfy spots.
