Gardens at Effingham
Welcome to the gardens! Inspired by all things cats and midwest gardens, I invite you to join me on both garden and cat adventures. Here, the cats lend voice to stories from the gardens.
Most Beloved cat shares her cat tales, often tattling on the outdoor garden cats, though remarkably serious at times. She offers her reflections of gardening, cats, birds (and more), and as is so often the case with cats, she has me doing the writing and transcribing for her.
