Whiling away the hours with Wyler


Kendra Meinert is an entertainment writer, Zone 5 gardener and occasional garden columnist in Green Bay, WI. You can find her @KendraMeinert on Instagram and Twitter.

She shared this gorgeous image and said, "The cat lounging beneath my tree peony, like it was grown just for him, is Wyler. He's 11 and was adopted from the local shelter 10 years ago. He's 15 pounds of friendly. Everybody loves Wyler -- kind of a goofball, life-of-the-party type. If I'm out in the gardens, so is he (and his younger counterpart, Derby). He's  been known to chase a chipmunk up a downspout, but mostly he's really good at finding just the right spot for sprawling out to keep an eye on the gardens or catch a nap. In the heat of summer, you'll find him under the shade of the big leaves of a 'Sum and Substance' hosta. And in winter ... patiently waiting for another gardening season to arrive."

Shady Character


I spotted this kitty on a Facebook page of  Abdellah Farmer - Boudhira Abdellah.

He wrote: "When I'm working at the farm he follows me around all the day. I worked today weeding the squash while he is sought out the shade so he can stay close and watch me. He found no better place other than the shade of squash leaves."

He is also a good garden hunter, reported Abdellah. "He catches mice, he killed a snake last year, and I saw him climb the olive tree to get to the nest of the crow."
