In the summer we have our gardens along the side of the building. Jamie’s side is filled with raspberries and currents! The moment one raspberry has grown on the bush, Jamie knows, and you have to pay the tax. Jamie’s summer tax goes something like this: You greet her in the morning, and you owe her a raspberry. You go to check the locks to let them out on Young’s Hill—currants. She has breakfast, lunch, or dinner—currants. You walk past her in the front rooms—raspberries. You play with Burrito in the greenhouse—currants—and then you’re free to continue! Nesting in the front rooms watching a movie? Raspberry. I think you get the gist!
This is just another reason I adore Jamie. She knows how to make sanctuary work for her and she knows how to hustle her caregivers!








Jaime is the BEST Boss around! Love how she gives everyone the opportunity to join in the taxation payments!
Sincerely, she’s a grand lady!
That last smile says, “yes, I do. I do know.” :sweat_smile:
Jamie is one foxy lady with plenty of smarts. It’s like you know she’s a sharp hustler but you can’t help but let her get away with it because she is absolutely loveable. Also those photos of Jamie just say it all.
Jamie’s sharp, that’s for sure! She’s a lady who knows how to get what she wants! Has Missy started charging her tomato tax yet?
Does she know to wait til they’re ripe? ’cause I sure wouldn’t want to be the one to put her off! (picture flyin feces, yikes!)
Do other berries grow well in your area? Blueberries…
Just one of a thousand different reasons why I simply adore Jamie. That expression on her face is yet another reason. Jamie is magnificent!
Thank you Kelsi, I know we can count on you for the good Jamie stories. And the fab pictures!
I just love her.:revolving_hearts:
Jamie is our Queen and of course she requires her subjects to pay their taxes lol. She is one wise lady and I love her.
