Soup of the Jungle

We aren't able to treat the yard areas of our farm like others who live in town might.  Sometimes there are places that don't get trimmed up.  The reasons can be diverse.  Perhaps we just haven't gotten to it.  Or maybe we have another reason for leaving it the way it is.

Huh, that area has gotten a bit wild.  What to do?

We've had a couple of stretches of warmer than usual weather along with a bothersome infestation of buffalo gnats.  Unlike the humans, that just keep plugging away at farm work, the farm supervisors look for ways to stay cooler and get away from the blackflies.

There appears to be something in this grassy patch.  But what?

Soup apparently decided this particular patch was IDEAL.  She could keep an eye on all that was going on at the farm's center.  She could stay cool and apparently not be as bothered by bugs there.  Plus, she made it look awfully comfortable.

See!  Cats DO build nests.

 Needless to say, we left that patch alone.
