...and thank you to Jackie, who drove all the way from Hornell, and Nancy, who always seems to be ready when something needs building or painting. We brought in one new shelter (that still needs the hinges and roofing material). Jackie painted the feeding station and Nancy gave the new shelter another coat of paint. I cleaned the old straw out of the existing shelters, but only painted the outside, because the insides were damp from this awful wet weather we've had all season, and need to dry out without insulation board and straw in them. The shelter that is farthest down the channel had clearly been submerged by flooding. I'm sure the cats will appreciate a clean, dry space!
We had an enjoyable lunch at Garcia's, and I highly recommend the place. It's very good Mexican food, at a decent price. The vegetarian options were great. I've never had a spinach or a potato burrito, but I risked it, and they were excellent.
The staff at Wickes were, as usual, wonderful. All in all, it was a great day full of great people. I'll be going back to paint the inside of the two remaining shelters, which shouldn't take long, and put the hinges and roofing material on the new shelter. Then in October, the cats will all be trapped, flea-treated, and get their booster shots. All ready for another few years of life on the wild side.
Thank you to everyone else who offered, who would have been able to make it on alternate weekends!
