Yep, those peonies do great, no matter what I do. I do water them like... twice a year. And I think Mom clipped them once because they were growing over the door (I would have left them, although I felt bad if they got bumped).

I've never seen any feral cats around here, actually. There are definitely wild cats out there on the edges of town and out of town, but even those are not really feral.... I know wild and feral are kind of the same thing.

I like your cat names!!! Poor feral cats. :(

My mom leaves food out for cats every night. She is totally just feeding some neighbors' cats, I'm sure! It's big and white and fluffy and looks like it just came from Sheba's palace. She just worries about them when it gets cold. I'm sure they live in a warm house though and just want to go outside and play, same as me.

I'm always happy when the cats run away, because that means they'll stay away from dangerous people. But sometimes cats outside will come up and meow and be friendly. I worry more about them. About the only thing I want the death penalty for is cruelty to animals...
