Samson Reviews the Latest Treats from Friskies

Like most cats, I like to play with the computer when Mom's away from the keyboard. My name is Samson and I just sampled some delicious treats. I'm inspired to tell you about them.

I wish I had a treat!

It all started a few weeks ago when Mom followed a link for Purina Friskies cat treats. She (well, actually, I) got the bag of treats in the mail today. It is called Friskies 7 because it has 7 favorites and 7 times the yum.

For Cat's sake, what's that?

The weather's turned cold and the days are shorter. It's enough to depress any cat, especially a long-haired Maine Coon cat like myself. As any cat lover knows, a scrumptious treat makes any cat feel livelier and happier. You can't go wrong by offering:
salmon.
tuna.
chicken.
turkey.
beef.
shrimp.
cheese.

Treats!

I am a finicky cat, so the opinions about the treats are my own. Neither Mom nor I got any compensation for writing this review. Packaging them together makes it easy to decide which treats your cat does and doesn't rave about.

I am impressed. It doesn't matter where the treat bag is hidden away, I will hunt it down and devour the Friskies goodies.

Prepare the Land for Next Year's Bounty

Soldier, scholar, mom, writer, educator, blogger, leader, scrubber of toilets and dirty pans.. my life is varied and interesting. I’ve always loved to grow things and watch them thrive. My veggies and fruits are organic and healthy. 

Is this the beginning of a new era? It is an oddity to have yellow leaves on this tree. The fruitless mulberry out front usually waits until the first killer frost or hard freeze to drop all at once. It makes cleanup easy. I’ll be doing a lot of raking this year.

Seeds for the goatheads, also known as Bindii, keep getting blown in with the wind. This is the fourth set I’ve had to dig out and kill this year.

If only the other flowering plants had this much determination to survive. It’s a plant that thrives in nearly every part of the world!

The apple tree is confused because the leaves are fading away without any yield this year. The fruit was killed by bad weather in the early spring.  

The apricot trees just gave up and will try again next year.

Other trees sport a mixture of yellow-green leaves. They are not ready to wither away and die, but their fate is sealed.

Living on a small farm with acreage means a gal’s work is never done!  However, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

Are there any favorites in your unofficial list of occupations?
