Ten on the Tenth

I am joining blog friend Joy at Forty Three The Final Front Door with July's Ten on the Tenth, posting ten photos taken on the 10th of the month.

Traps Set Out for the Garden Cats

We set out traps for the stray/feral garden cats the night before to try and catch a mama cat and her three kittens to get them spayed and neutered.  We managed to trap the mama cat, but, the kittens were too wary to come close to the traps!  We will try to trap them, later.

At the Vet's Clinic

I accompanied my daughter to the vet's clinic where they performed the neutering.  We had an appointment at 7:00 a.m.  I stayed in the car while daughter took the mama cat in.

Daughter Standing in Line at the Car Park

Although we got to the clinic before they opened at 7:00 a.m. to accept the day's spay and neuter cats, there was already a line of people with their trapped cats in the parking lot, behind the clinic.

Later, we went back to collect the mama cat after her surgery and brought her home.  She will be released back into the garden once she's recovered from her surgery.

The Brass Bell Back on my Bedside Table

I've written about this bell in a previous post, too.  My mother obtained it when she was in Hong Kong and brought it with her.  It is usually kept on the shelf where the altar is set up.  But, when my daughter was little and home from school due to an illness, my mother would keep the bell near my daughter so she could ring it if she needed Grandmother for anything.  When I was recovering from my lumpectomy, my daughter kept the bell by my bedside if I needed to call her for anything.  This past week, as I lay on the bed recovering from my latest sciatica flare up, daughter fetched it from the altar shelf and kept it on my bedside table, to ring if I needed her.  It is still on my bedside table.

Groceries

We put in an order for groceries and they were delivered today.

Craft Supplies/Glue and Glue Sticks

Along with some craft supplies (glue sticks and glue), since the store was having a "back to school" sale.

A Trio of Library Books

I spent part of my afternoon reading one of my library books, with the fan on as the temperature reached 88F today.

Keeping Cool

 Deinner: Hot Pocket and Cucumber Salad

We very rarely buy hot pockets, but, they were on sale and daughter suggested getting some with our grocery order for a quick, easy to prepare meal.  She baked them in the air fryer and we had them with cucumber salad.

Dessert

We had ice cream bars for dessert.

And there you go - ten photos taken on the 10th of July.

Thank you, Joy, for starting the Ten on the Tenth photo challenge.
