It is how they dust for parasites like fleas even though they dont have any.
Smokey does it all the time.
As for the tomato plants they have started to green up from the pathetic light green things they were when I bought them.
I am also considering making a row of okra between my house and Arlen's in the small strip of soil we have between us.
Then in the fall I will put in a wire trellis for grape vines and irrigate it.
Speaking of Arlen she is doing fine had no idea her light was staying on all of the time and turned it off.
I told her it was shot, worn out and her son needed to replace it.
Some time ago another one of her cats had to be put down too, Baby Kitty.
Baby Kitty was old and fat and her and Misty a younger cat used to snuggle with each other.
She told me yesterday that she is now going on line and ordering her groceries at HEB and picking them up the next day.
This way she doesn't have to run all over the store to shop for things.
Plus this keeps her from having to ask or get up out of the cart to get things she cant.
This is a great service for folks like her that can hardly get around.
Many times I see these folks in the store just staring up at stuff they cannot reach.
I always ask if they need me to get them something.
" Oh yes, 'could you get me that can of green beans on the top shelf, thank you so much".
Think of this the next time you are in the store and see this.
