Birds as messengers

Last evening Jack and I were driving to a friend's house for dinner and had gotten into  "discussion" about moving. Jack owns an antique store/gallery and has been there for 20 years. I want to believe that he can close his shop, or sell it, and move easily to a new town/life, and he says…

Welcome Home

Last summer, when the little  feral kitten "Wonder" found his way to us, I had to work really hard, in my mind, to not jump into the fear of who in the world would want a wild kitten? I took a picture of him and wrote about it on this blog. That same day was the…

Sunday nap

I just had to share this photograph of Wonder with you today! What a perfect lazy-summer image to ponder as I go off for a little nap myself! I will no longer be posting here about him because his new family has set up a Facebook page with updates and pictures! I don't seem to…

Things really do work out, with patience and love

Good morning Wonder!

I set Wonder's food bowl out this morning and was able to catch a photo (through the window) of her coming out of the bushes for breakfast. She is so cute that I want to pick her up and hug her. She clearly does not want that... won't even let me get within 3 feet…

The “Wonder” of it all. ….and a little contest!

I got up later than Jack this morning. He was sitting in the living room drinking coffee as I came down the stairs and the first thing he said was, "You would not believe what happened last night!" I could tell it was going to be a good story so I poured my coffee and…
