Lincoln is a big cat originally from the mean streets of Chicago now living in the idyllic burbs of Iowa. He blogs about life in general - focusing on the little ankle biters who generally leave him alone and don't pull his tail or whiskers.
Actually, we have a *real* bed, with a full-fledged frame, not the $30 metal one with wheels they give you at the mattress store. Furniture finally arrived this week and looks great...we're adjusting to not having to split a tiny 5-drawer dresser with cat claw scratches on it, and having our furniture against the wall, instead of bunched into the middle of the room, as we kept it weeks after we painted the walls.
I like to call this photo "Lincoln in Repose" as he holds court on my new ottoman...large enough for a hefty feline!
I have to include a picture of the Bel as well...please note that her baseball loyalties lie with her beloved owner. She has a sassy Cardinal red collar to match because the hat doesn't quite fit. Needless to say, Lincoln formerly sported a royal blue collar which fell apart, much like his other owner's favorite team...
Here are some pics of the gardens that the previous owner planted. These were taken in June, so we've enjoyed seeing new flowers appear the last few months. Other than planting some perennials in the front yard, we've been basically maintaining the current landscaping.
