Judging by the muddy paw prints,

I think he wants in –

In please

Doesn’t look like the first time either.

He’s probably forgotten the side door is open just for him.

Silly cat.

The future looks,

Like a tiny little speck of green –

I'm gonna be big one day

But one day this little speck of green will grow up to become a mighty oak ( Actually, it’ll likely be some sort of evergreen in this neck of the woods, but why ruin the phrase).

Good luck little tree. We’re rooting for you.
Get it? I knew you would.

That Mike grows a mean flower

Daffodils, sure sign of Spring

And some evidence that maybe, it’ll be a while longer –

 

Our struggling flora

That’s what we get for growing them in the shade

 

The rain has returned. Perfect timing to wash in the moss killer applied over the weekend. That’s when you know it’s Spring, when you’re raking moss out of the lawn.

Strong as ever

She’s a little worn out, weathered, and frayed from all the poking and prodding –

 

Strength

 

But, strong as ever, and holding tight.

Thanks everyone for all of your support.

Benched, again

Marla’s been sidelined (hospitalized) by a wonky heartbeat. Ticker not in tune with the removal of the tailbone, I suspect. Though the good people taking care of her think the surgery and the A-fib are just a co-incidence. My gut feeling is that stress & drugs & rock-n-roll of the surgery were just too much. So they took her away in a blaze of lights last night at 6. The cats were terrified at all the people in the house. The wonderful people from Shoreline’s Emergency Medical Services took fantastic care of her (THANK YOU!!!). And now she’s resting in the hospital. Should be home tomorrow, but for now, benched again –

Benched, again

As a side note; This does mean the Girl Scout cookies are first come, first served – Right?

Get wells

 

The Patient is spending another night at la hospital. The pain is too much to control, so she’s gonna stay where the experts can help her best. Should be bringing her home in the morning.

Thanks Mom & Pop, you guys are awesome. She’ll see this on her phone, from the hospital room, and it’ll make her want to get home even more.
