Dear Fearless Homeowner,
Due to a severe lack of sleep, this week’s entry will be a short and sweet update on previous posts—More on the lack of sleep in a minute!
The Metro area came within a hare’s hair of a freeze the first week in May...But the Tax Day rule won out, and my new plants are finally beginning to establish themselves in the garden!
I have NOT joined the OKC Food Co-op yet, but I feel there’s still plenty of time this spring and summer for co-op food. I am currently enjoying the wonderful local food available at the Edmond Farmer’s Market on Saturdays and am looking forward to the addition of a Wednesday market week after next.
This is the exciting news I’ve been waiting to share...The baby birds all learned to fly last week! After two very stressful days (stressful for the baby birds, the momma and papa birds, and ME), they finally figured out how to fly in and out of the nest on their own. My blood pressure spiked as I watched them struggle time after time to make it all the way back up to their nest.
And just like that, they were all gone to lead their young adult bird lives!
While I haven’t gotten my settee reupholstered yet, I have collected a list of recommended professionals to help with the job. I’ll let you know if I find anyone worth mentioning once the work is complete.
And NOW we get to the lack of sleep! The Midnight Woofness: Under the Big Top event was a huge success. It took almost 48 hours around the clock, but we found homes for 565 cats and dogs! That is 565 animals all snuggled up with new loving families this week. Although these events are always fun, my droopy eyes are glad the next one isn’t scheduled until October...and that it will be located at the Edmond PetSmart, which will be much closer to home.
And now Chris and I are presented with an even bigger task...We are both members of OK Humane’s Follow Up Team. Each family who took home an animal last weekend will get a call from someone on our team to see how things are going. And one of those calls will be placed to the lucky family who adopted our sweet foster girl, BamBam! I can’t wait to hear how she’s fitting in with her new family.
Have a good week!
~Kristin
P.S. Apparently I’m not very good at short and sweet.
