Finally the pretty boy found his home - the owner came the other night and took him home. And after few days (three..) he was back. Happily sleeping in our veranda 😁 . Oldest had took him in during the night and gave him food... So I rang bact to his owner and she came back and again took him home. Now its been five days, so he won't be back until next week...?
They have a new puppy and pretty boy doesn't appreciate.
Kale and other brassicas survived against all odds the deep freeze. Might have some kale with supper tonight.

Oh the cold is here
Winter is here. Last week first the temperature went down to -5 °C and when it rose back near zero it started to snow. And then some more snow. During one day we got 15cm of snow - kids made snowmen and snowlanterns.
This week there has been rain and freeze (-8°C previous night).
And of course clocks had to be adjusted again.
Anyone can tell me this is not winter yet, but to me it is.
And we apparently have gained an another cat. This beautiful black and white (ex-)tomcat appeared on our yard almoust three weeks ago. At first we thought he was somewhere from our village - there are mind-boggling numbers of black-and-white cats in a little village! Nope, none of those cats were missing.
So we gave him food and when the freeze came, we let him in to our warm porch. I have made posters, called all animal shelters around in 50km radius and searched the net to no avail.
He has decided that he lives with us now and nobody seems to miss him.
Yesterday I gave up and started deworming, I have pills which need to be given three times. For our cats I just crush the pills between tvo large spoons and dilute it to water and give i to them with syringe. But I don't know how this fellow will react to such careless act, so I have to mix the crushed mess to his food. Well... He is very suspicious to his food now...
He is very nice cat, a bit vocal compaired to our kittens (which are over a year old now, so no longer kittens but my little babies always...)
The most suprising thing is that all three cats seem to get along. I'll try to get him to vet to find out if he has a microchip, but I doubt that - if someone chipped their cat, they probably would try to find it if it gets lost...?
Sudden winter of course meant I didn't get all things done in the veggie plot or in the polytunnel. I managed to plant strawberries and harvest all pumpkins and squashes, but I just remembered my pitiful carrots are still on the ground - there match sized so loss is hardly worth mentoning. Kales and broccolies are also buried under the frost and snow. Kale can manage little frost, but this cold temperatures this long might be a bit too much... Well, my freezer is full so I think I can handle this loss, too.
