My morning garden companions....

Three of cats just love to go out to the garden with me, no matter what time of day.  They are such characters. Mouse follows me from bed to bed, but sure doesn't care to have her picture taken.

Punky will come out and immediately find a comfortable spot to lay out.

Paulie is here, but was camera shy, and RedMan, he don't play.  He's up at the house laying on the porch in the shade, appropriate for an old man his age!
Carlie, the dog, comes out too, but she lays out under the shade in the old herb garden to keep an eye on all of us, including the chickens.  She has appointed herself as the chicken gardian and she takes it pretty seriously.
