The ornamental gourd plants that I grew this year produced enough gourds to share with family and friends. One of those friends happens to be my 4 year old cat. She was the one who decided I needed to share with her as I did not give her one willingly.

She is a rather intelligent cat and likes to play football (or baseball or whatever sport you call batting the stolen vegetable around). She is quite good at it although I sometimes have to fetch it for her when she bats it under the table and then can't quite manage to get at it.
I, of course am a rather good fetcher. I always thought that I gardened for produce and a good tomato to eat. Apparently I am also gardening to keep my cat in cat toys. She would steal the tomatoes too if I let her. She has in the past. Now they are stored safely atop the refrigerator (at least I think they are safe up there).
Today I made some cornbread with corn meal bought from Hampshire Farms. I am hoping to get there some day soon to buy some black beans and bread. Cornbread and a happy cat. What more could a person ask for?
