My mother and my aunts all love gardening and cats. Maybe they're witches?

My second oldest aunt's got a crazy garden. I think the soil around her house is super fertile because she'll put things out for compost, and next thing you know it's taken root and is growing. I was delighted to find some beets growing.

Unfortunately, when I dug it up, it was really tiny, and it didn't taste as good as the ones from the store.
These tomatoes were really good. They were a deep wine color when you cut them, and they were so yummy. Forget those watery, store-bought tomatoes.
My aunt sells clothes, bags, accessories and stuff at shows all over the west coast. Here are some of the bags.
She designs them and works with a seamstress to make them. Before a show (usually on the wekend), she's going crazy and her stuff is all over the house.

Here's her new kitten Jiji, sitting in front of some of her designs.

This guy's name is Ikkyu. He is missing one of his back legs, so he pulls himself around a lot. When he wants to, he can run pretty fast though.
