Damn Rats

These are what would have been my largest Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes of the season,
atleast 2 lbs. each.

The rats got to them.

UGHHHHH

Cats with Fleas

Johns cats, Pizza & Jeffrey have fleas.

The problem is that his house has tons of cats and they all have fleas, 
so the solution was to put them in the empty room in my house, give them Frontline, and hope they go away before Sept. 1st.


So far so good.

The new couch is so comfy, Sienna will tell ya.

New Table


$10

Bought a new table Friday, I'm going to do a "before" and "after" I'm just not done with it. 
So far I've sanded it down and primed it white. 

I have no idea what color to paint it.
I'm thinking.......

Thrifting

$4

$4

I've been buying dresses and skirts from the thrift store near my house and then fixing them to my liking, here are the 2 newest buys.

The top one is pretty fine on its own, little elephant pattern, I love how crazy it is.
The bottom one looks like a scarf but is way too long, so I'm going to hem it.
