Here’s our Boston Organics delivery for this week. They’ll have special options available over the next couple of weeks for Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to serving really tasty organic veggies for the holiday.

Today was Boston Ballet Day at work. It was madness. One of the activities was an “instrument petting zoo” where kids could get a look at different musical instruments, and try handling some of them.

On days like this, the staff gets punchy. Here is Bridget, demonstrating an easy way to check if your packing peanuts are the cornstarch type–if they stick to your tongue, they are.
Winnie’s workshop
All last week, for the Week of Winnie, I was hoping to get a picture like this one. But she didn’t cooperate. But here it is now.
A couple months ago, we were having work done on the house that required us to lock the kitties in the kitchen area. We grabbed a box so that Winnie especially would have someplace to hide out, and she liked it so much, we moved it to the living room when the project was over. Marc and Michaela called it her workshop, because it was labeled as such from when we moved, so that’s how it is now known.

For all that Winnie is completely adorable, she is a difficult photographic subject. She tends to hang out in the same spots and does not do the goofy things that Parker does. I think she also doesn’t like the sound of the camera, so catching her in a cute pose is hard because she moves away when the camera whirs. So tonight’s picture was one of many, with me growing more frustrated. But I still like this one.

Here’s a funny thing about our kitties: Parker is very social, not afraid of strangers and always getting into things. He’s also incredibly neurotic and clingy. Winnie is skittish and shy and much more methodical. But she’s not a lap cat. She likes to be with the people (that is, Doug and me), but not on the people.
Winnie #1
it’s the week of Winnie. A coworker recently pointed out that I had a lot of pictures of Parker and not so many of Winnie, and accused me of favoritism. This is 100% untrue. The problem is that Winnie tends to hide more, or settle in one spot and stay there, and is not as out and about as Parker is. But she is adorable. Part of it is that her eyes are constantly dilated, which somehow equals “cute helpless kitty.”
