January
I haven't had the mental fortitude to start looking through the many photos I took on our trip to Florida at the end of last month, so here are a few non-Florida pictures. First, maybe I've mentioned that we've been worried about Lester for several months now because he's lost weight; he has hyperthyoidism and we give him an ointment in his ear twice a day but so far he doesn't look like he's put on any weight. But on January 13th we got a text from our neighbor two doors down; he'd spotted Les, who was walking along the dock of the people one house down from them. So he had quite a ramble,...

July!
Have you ever seen such an unusual and beautiful Canna Lily? I can't remember where Randy says he bought it, but it's amazing. Not only is the flower two-toned, but the leaves have wonderful...
Summertime…
...and I'm just too busy. Here's little Sweetie, enjoying the round-a-round. This one used to belong to Mom's cat Hobbs, and the kitties are in love with it. Somebody is usually sprawled on top of...
Mostly cats in June…
Even though I don't know when we'll ever get to take another vacation, at least it's very vacation-getaway-like around here. Here's a pair of geese with their adolescent goslings at the end of June....

He made it!
Whew, Spot's surgery was a success. Such a miracle. We took him in yesterday morning and the vet called to tell us that his white blood count and platelets were still dangerously low and the...
Only Thursday?
I was reading my last entry and it seems so long ago, but only three days have passed. Whew. Here's poor Spot at the vet on Monday morning. When he'd been to the vet before for minor injuries, he'd...
Whew.
So much for a calm start to the month. I feel I haven't had time to catch my breath but I'm confident today will be a little less frantic. Spot seemed to be slowly improving but then yesterday Kevin...
May ended in a frenzy of Spot-Related things.
So much has happened. First, here's a photo of maybe 30 goslings. Don't think I've ever seen this many at once. On May 20th Spot and I sat down on the dock and then climbed aboard Kevin's sailboat....
Happy Birthday to Me.
Kevin and I went to see the movie "The Fall Guy" this afternoon and it was quite entertaining. We had no idea that it was pouring down rain outside and more rain and flooding is forecast. We're...
