Cat Prints in the Snow, Big and Small
We’ve had snowy conditions for more than a week, and early on, I let Benji outside to check it out. He didn’t stay long, but long enough for me to get a picture of his tiny paw prints in the snow. As the weather… Continue Reading “Cat Prints in the Snow, Big and Small”

Bobcat Sighting and we now have Indoor Cats!

So… Continue Reading “Squares from Spokane – Remnants from a World’s Fair”

A Special Walk at Coulon Park with Bald Eagles
I needed the walk. I was feeling a bit under the weather, and perhaps the weather was feeling a bit under me. So I headed to Coulon Park to be revived; it was cold and cloudy but not raining and the air was fresh… Continue Reading “A Special Walk at Coulon Park with Bald Eagles”

Rainy Days and Mondays, of Cats and Falling Leaves
It’s a blustery, rainy day in the Great Northwest and this is the scene from my office window. Most of the leaves are hanging on, though some have let go, landing on my car, where I enjoy them on my windshield. Inside, Benji is… Continue Reading “Rainy Days and Mondays, of Cats and Falling Leaves”
