Well, we are rejoicing at the answer of our prayers for rain, yesterday we got an inch and a half.  More may be on the way today.  We encountered another bat today, this one nesting comfortabley in the cat litter box.  It hissed miserabley as I cleaned the litter out and the kittens didn't seem to care that it protested loudly as they brushed by it.  I tried to move it but it would not cooperate and climb into my carefully placed coffee can so I left it.  The garden is growing well despite cold and dry conditions.  I will likely pick peas in a week or so and the chinese cabbage is huge.   Check out the new photos I'm posting today.  Have a great day.  Jennifer
