This kitten has grown much bigger and turned into a monster. She, Hannah, does everything she is not suppose to do. For example, she sleeps in the afternoon on top of the large cage I have for my canaries. Proably dreaming of what she would like to do with those birds if only she could get into the cage and believe me she has tried. She gets really wild and will attack anything that moves with all her claws and teeth flying. So we in this house have nursed many wounds. But last night was her reckoning. She bit Jim when he was trying to but her to bed. After much chasing and muttering under our breaths, towel in hand, I grab her and she was not happy, clawing and yeowling with all her energy. We tossed her into her kennel and Jim for revenge for being bitten and scratched, put her out into the garage.
This morning she was very repentant and shy with her behavior. We here have decided she needs to be an outside cat with some privileges in the house. We acted on our decision and Hannah has adjusted well to the outside. She waits by the back door when she wants in. All is peaceful once again in the Terrill's house in Benson.

This is JDT in one of his serious moments. Denea, Doug and their kids came up to visit on this cold and rainy day. Doug and Jim starting building some selves in our garage and Denea I were in the house when we hear a large noise...and to our surprise Jim had borrowed a full size front bucket tractor from the farm across the way. Jim and Doug had decided to start digging out the footing for a storage shed we bought. The best about this whole thing was Ryan's (6 yrs) eyes when he saw his grandpa on that big tractor!
As a side note after the farmer delivered the tractor and gave Jim and Doug quick directions on it's operation, it took Jim and Doug 15 minutes to figure out how to make it move forward. What fun down on the farm. Everyday is a new wonderful experience. The area is so beautiful and we feel so blessed to be here. I may be singing a different tune when winter really hits.
