It's a long day (5:15 a.m. to 8:15 p.m.), but I get to see my neighbors, and the pay is good. Yes, that's my ancient and neurotic cat, Shadow. The perspective of the shot makes it look like a couch she's sitting on, but in fact it's only a love seat, as our porch is quite small.Kate Gallisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107289413804236810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-43601206959337434442013-06-07T15:47:56.735-04:002013-06-07T15:47:56.735-04:00Love your new porch furniture!!
