Meet Buddy, Jane’s gardening cat

Garden Junk fun!, Nature

Part 2- Buddy says Hello

A Flea Market Gardening Photo Story

Meet Jane Krauter’s little cat, Buddy, who just appeared one day…in Jane’s lush and green garden in Central California.  Why wouldn’t a cat adopt this home?  He joins Squirrelly and Turtle and together they rule the garden. Jane captures it all with her photography….and you’ll see a few junk garden features, too!
