I know - this has got to be the world's worst photo - you try to get White Lightening herself to hold still when she thinks she's about to get in trouble...

I collect corks - corks made of cork, not that plastic stuff. The liquor store next to my office shares corks from their sample bottles. My uncle, who seems to have a penchant for red wine, brings a ziplock of corks when he comes up for a visit. Jean, who likes local wines, also saves corks. Real corks are getting very hard to find and it appears that all the brands I like have gone to the plastic jobbers. Pity. I'm not 100% sure what I'll be doing with them but I would love to make a corkboard or cover the soffit above the kitchen cupboards or or or...

Any way...Rex came up for Veteran's Day weekend and brought me a quart bag full of corks.

So one day earlier this week, I'm in the kitchen and I notice that Squeaky is nose deep in the huge flower pot that houses all these corks. She must have smelled the fresh corks on top! I've caught her at least one other time but not fast enough to grab the camera. I'm waiting for them to become kitty toys...
