Timmy Is Back!

I've been catsitting for my favorite kitty this past week. I love him so much! He is such a handsome boy :)

My Friends

These are the friends I've made in North Carolina so far.

They're cool and all, we just don't have that much in common. Also, it's mating season so they don't really want me around too much. But I still love them, they tell the best jokes!

Picnic On the Lake

Derek and I are enjoying the spring weather every chance we get. Yesterday we had ourselves a little picnic at a little lake in a small town we live near and it was oh so lovely. We watched little ducks swim around and be cute while we ate and enjoyed the sunshine. Then we took a ton of pictures together, while everyone in the (very busy) park had their eyes on us the whole time. A while ago, I would have never been able to handle that many people staring at me. But I've learned very well not to care what other people are doing and if they do watch then let them, because I'm a hardcore people watcher myself and I know people are just curious. I was able to block them all out and while taking pictures I felt like Derek and I were in our own little world. Yesterday has been filed under 'good'.

(His cheesy smile in this one cracks me up)

Also, the necklaces I won in this giveaway finally arrived! I'm wearing one of them in the photos. A post dedicated to them will be coming soon! ps, they're even more gorgeous in person!

Deer Spotting

In my own front yard a few mornings ago! Aren't they precious?!

 (Papa deer keeping a close eye on me)

(hehe I love watching them watch me!)

I woke up really early to use the bathroom and when I passed my bedroom window I froze when I saw these cuties. Their tails are especially adorable! The pictures are such low quality because 1) I grabbed the camera nearest to me and it doesn't have the best zoom to begin with, 2) My yard is two levels, and really long. So I had to zoom in as much as I possibly could to get close-ups and 3) It was early, I was tired, thus not worried about quality photos. I love all the little critters that wonder around my landlord's property!! This area is especially populated with cute little turkeys :)

Timmy the Kitty

My neighbor Jada is an older woman that lives alone with her cat Timmy. Recently Jada's father (who lives in Wisconsin) became ill so she packed up and drove to where he is to take care of him and will be gone for what she says will be for a couple months. I don't know why she couldn't take her kitty with her but I'm glad she didn't because she asked me to take care of him while she was gone. Yes! I was so excited! So now everyday, twice a day I go feed Timmy and give him fresh water and change his litter box and sweep if he made a mess and play with him and it has been a dream come true. It makes me want my own cat so much harder!

I've recently learned how to crochet so of course I immediately had to make him some toys. He loves them too! I guess his kitty instincts kick in as soon as I break the yarn out, it entertains him much more than all his other toys.

He's beginning to believe all yarn is his now. And so is everything I make. I was making a cowl for myself and I would work on it while spending time with Timmy and he took an extreme liking to it.

He would come lay on it while I was working on it. D'awhh!

He isn't a cat that likes to sit and be pet, he likes to be pet as he is passing you. When he would lay on my cowl he would actually sit still for a long period of time and let me pet him the whole time! It was so sweet! I wasn't doing a very good job on the cowl anyways and there were a lot of mistakes (I was still learning) so I just cut and tied it off and gave it to him as a little kitty blanket. He loves it so much and lays on it constantly. Its adorable!

He is so precious! I'm so happy I got the opportunity to to take care of and spend time with a kitty! I'm a huge cat/animal lover but sadly I'm currently catless :( So being able to bond with Timmy really means a lot to me. He is a big ole sweetie!
