Sweet Happenings in the Garden

Another springlike day, and Tiger went out to enjoy; not bad for an 18-year-old cat. Benji is always game; not bad for a tripawd. Flowers are beginning to appear among the fallen leaves and pinecones, this a tiny Cyclamen; this a Lenten Rose. A… Continue Reading “Sweet Happenings in the Garden”

Now that it’s Summer ….

The rain has returned to the Great Northwest, in keeping with the tradition that summer only starts in Seattle after the 4th of July. Earlier this week it was sunny and blue for our walk on Ruston Way in Tacoma. But by yesterday afternoon,… Continue Reading “Now that it’s Summer ….”

Who gets the window seat?

We take turns when flying. Since I’m the travel agent, I get the window going, Bob gets it on the return flight. But here at home, there’s no denying it. Benji owns the window seat. Tiger is content below. Happy Caturday from the boys!… Continue Reading “Who gets the window seat?”
