Kit-Cat

Cats keep the world go around and surely kitty love is highly rewarded on this end of the keyboard. I know I promised to keep this space productive with my thesis, but today I received an e-mail form my supervisor announcing a BIG list of comments on my draft, and I won't get them until a week form now (he will be traveling...), so I feel a need to post cute faces, this will make me happy...  --- whose heart wont melt with these cute felines?

Behold my kitty love gallery:

Gardening is not fun

 The garden was attacked by a bunch of Aphids! Nasty tough pests, they killed my desire for planting for the season. I have no energy to keep them away. (They make me soooo angry that I wasn't even able to post a real picture of them here, I can live with a 'cute' version of these buggers)
 
For now, my "gardening" enthusiasm has limited to Sprouts! Yay, here is instant growing-your-own-food gratification! In your face ...Aphids
