My Hibiscus Plants & Tapa

I'm so pleased with the continued good progress of my little patio plants.  I feel like I've been able to accomplish what before was impossible for me!  My plants are doing so well and they make me happy every time I look out the window.

Here's a little Tapa update.  She's a bruiser.  She's a fighter.  She's a midnight raider.  She's been coming home with all sorts of cuts and scrapes.  The girl has some serious battle scars.  She's even come home a few times limping.  I have to admit I'm a little worried about her, I don't want her to get hurt too badly or worse, not make it home one night.  There are a lot of stray cats around (Remember when I told you Spain has no wildlife to speak of.  No squirrels, chipmunks, etc...they have wild cats and dogs instead) and I worry about her wild side.  Sometimes I'm not sure if she wants to be a "pet" she might prefer her freedom.  She was rescued from a ditch when she was 4 months old after all.  But, having said that, she is free to leave at anytime and she keeps coming back, I guess that means she's happy with us. 

I snapped these two shots while she was outside with the kids.  She is a quirky little girl.  I still think she thinks she's a dog.  She sits in the driveway while the kids play hoops and she herds them!  It's pretty funny to watch.  She's our little watch cat.
