Jungle Cat...

When Jan moved in, she brought lots of plants. Some of them are very large, too. Two, in particular, take up a lot of space, so we managed to tuck them into a corner of the dining room on a bench.

Last night, Handsome was a rehearsal and we watched the Brewers game (recording it so Handsome could watch it when he got home). At one point, we heard a little commotion in the dining room. 

I expected to turn around to find one of the cats playing with the long air roots on one of the monsteria plants. Instead we found Claudette hanging out on the bench.

I expect to see her doing this more frequently. She's also taken to sleeping with Jan at night. Fickle puss.

 

The Big Reveal...

The population at the farmhouse has increased by one. My youngest sister, Jan has moved in with us! We're planning for her to be here at least through the winter.

There was a hustle and bustle of activity on Sunday when her movers arrived with a truck loaded with her possessions. Some things are safely tucked in our secure pole barn, while other things are either in our basement or awaiting staging upstairs.

There's still a lot to do before she'll have a comfortable space to call her own, but we're hoping to accomplish that over the next couple weeks, so it truly feels like home to her.

The circumstances of her move are hers to tell, but I'll say this is a life change for her. Handsome and I are providing her with a safe, calm, and loving home as she navigates the next season of her life.

I'm happy she's here because as soon as she settled, we'll be collaborating on some creative endeavors. I can hardly wait, so there's extra motivation for me to get her settled in.

Please join us in welcoming Jan to Hickory Hill Farm.
