After some intense heat and humidity last week and then a full day of pouring rain on Saturday, yesterday was such a beautiful day!

It was hot – but blue, sunny, and slightly breezy!

After I put the littles to bed last night, I saw our stray mama kitty with her four little kittens right outside our barn.

She has been hiding them SO well. We have only had glimpses of them the last two weeks as she takes them into the barn to let them eat the cat food we have out for our cats. The kittens are probably eight weeks old.

I ran back to the office and grabbed the big camera. As soon as I stepped on the porch to take some photos, the four kittens jumped into the raspberry patch in about two seconds flat! Mama kitty just stayed where she was!

I stood on the sidewalk and took some photos anyway, turning to my left, to the front, and then to my right.

Can you believe our Sadie girl?! She is a SUPER SWEET pup, and we are all over the top in love with her! I picture her growing up just a bit more, where she will be laying at my feet all day long – it is my favorite thing about having a dog!

Today is another beautiful, hot, blue day! The swimming pool is calling our name! First – it’s time for lunch!

Happy Monday, everyone!!
