We currently have some cats

conulyWe have Callie, Mama Cat, Reeses, fucking Sebastian, and Spirit.
Three of these cats are allowed to go in and out. One of those cats is semi-feral and sneaks into our house using the basement window. And the last isn't allowed outside. She also wears a collar with a bell.
So here I was in the yard yesterday, digging up ragweed by the roots. This is an unending task, but I will see some progress! And in the middle I got distracted and decided to start dividing the daffodils. I know, it's the wrong time of year for that, but if I wait until fall I'll forget again. Honestly, this is why I don't like daffodils so much. I feel like I spend my whole life planning to divide them, then realizing belatedly that I forgot. So I'm dividing the daffodils and then shoving some bulbs where I've turned the soil very thoroughly getting the ragweed up. And while I do this I'm also tossing rocks over my shoulder if I find them.
Until suddenly I toss a rock and hear an alarmed "jingle" behind me. Turning around... "Spirit!?"
So I went to get her, but for some reason she ran away and I lost her! Luckily a neighbor saw her climbing in that same basement window. Crisis averted! But now she won't let me come close. I mean, I guess I did throw a rock at her and then chase her around the house, but seriously! Bygones!
