Field Day of the Past, with a Cat Update

Well, the cat tree still isn't done. It is almost done though.  All that's left to do is to carpet the base. Butter Bean is still mostly uninterested in the tree, I think because she's so small. When she's feeling especially feisty, she'll scramble up one of the legs and then scramble back down. A couple times, I've come in the apartment to find her sleeping on top of the tube platform, but she doesnt play on it in front of me.

She is looking and feeling a lot better. She's back to being an active and happy kitten, following the dog around and batting at his tail relentlessly. There is still plenty of ringworm on her, but it is healing.

See the bald spots on her toes? They were really bald, but there's fur growing back now. And the dark spots on her nose and head are also ringworm rashes, but they look much better than they did.

So what did we do this weekend if we didn't finish the cat tree? We filled our weekend with classic Virginia redneck events, including a Kiwanis fundraiser BBQ/car show in Ashland (so lame I am not going to elaborate) and a visit to Field Day of the Past in Goochland. I hadn't been to Field Day of the Past since I was a teenager, but Boyfriend got free tickets from a work acquaintance. It was fun! It was like the state fair, but with a more local, less creepy feeling to it. There were funnel cakes and roasted corn, and lots of interesting historical exhibits. I had a good time. We watched tractor pulls and saw lots of old-time machines and thingamajigs like these:

 

But more importantly, there were chickens, mules, donkeys (and miniature donkeys), horses (and miniature horses), cows (and miniature cows), ducks, pigs, and alpacas:
