Roy is telling a touching story of the
moment he realized his daughter had become a better sailor
than he is, but I'm only half-listening as the sweat drips
off my brow, my nose runs, my eyes water and Savannah eyes
me with evil intent. She's been sucking up to Roy all
morning, acting the part of the cutest cat in the world.
Bianca has been really affectionate with Roy this morning
too. Boy has she ever come out of her shell. She used to be
such a fraidy cat! Now she even seeks out Two of those three adorable orange kittens with the Italian names have already been adopted. It's beyond me why Vito, the orange and white one, hasn't been adopted yet. He is just sooooo cute. He zips around the office under and over everything in sight and has already figured out that the door leads to a possible escape route. Smart kitten.
A gray catbird does a perfect imitation of a willet. So perfect that the willet answers it and I can't help laughing. A lot of sparrows flit across the road too fast for me to identify them. A painted turtle suns itself on the bank of the north pool. Flowers of all kinds are in bloom all over the place. The fields are a riot of color. It seems like we've waited forever for summer and now it's here all at once and in overdrive. Extreme summer. |
