April 2026

April is here but not showery. We didn’t have much rain so far, not like last year. Folks around here are saying we’re going to have a dry summer this year. It wasn’t very rainy last year during the summer either but they’re saying it’s gonna be worse this year. I hope not. It’s already bad enough with other things that we don’t need that added.

The tux female Ashley wasn’t the first to have her babies; it was little White-Nose, the small orange and white tabby that gets picked on by the others. She had two oranges. Ashley had her five misc. a few days later. A couple of the others are showing bellies so we may have a few more soon, though they don’t look that far along. Mama cats usually have their litters close to our feeding boards or the sheds then move them within a few days, some like to keep close to our area to keep the possibility of coyotes and other pests from finding the newborns right away. But they do keep moving them around. Some of the ferals haven’t been coming around any more. We used to have about 15 but I’ve only been seeing about 10 consistently now.

I cancelled the Nixa library in-person event. I decided that if I went I didn’t have enough time to restock my books before the May event a two weeks later. With my luck I’d sell at the April event and won’t have enough for the May. Since the May is a slightly bigger event I’d go for that. And I had to make an appointment that day anyway. Certain things come up and you have to do what you got to do.

Triple Treasures Marketplace May 9th at Hardenville, MO is still on. I’ll be there before the official opening time of course setting up. If you want to catch me live I’ll be there.

I’m still working on my WIP. My muse is starting to actually work on it now so it should be finished before September’s Hootin and Hollarin. Hopefully I will get at least two books done this year. I have soo many in my queue.

I got to head into town now. Catch you on the flip side. Stay tuned for the next installment.
