Dry Pond

First full day of summer and our east "pond" has lost all of its water.

Look out Cat!

Here we come!

New

Some new animals have arrived. We might be a farm yet someday.

Just back from the vets with cat and dog and much lighter wallet. Why does it cost so much, these days, to keep animals healthy?

Lucky

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. As I sit at my breakfast table this morning, having just read a National Geographic story about the crowded life in Hong Kong, I cannot see or hear one person. The only sound, right now, is that of a solitary mourning dove cooing outside. Tomorrow it will be marginally more crowded and noisy as Fleur-Ange will be back home but even then the lack of other peoples and noise will be pleasant.
