It's been a month since my last post!  no idea how that much time has passed.  too much focus on yucky stuff like taxes. 

have read all of the Lucy Stone series by Leslie Meier.

currently reading Agony of the Leaves by Laura Childs, another series I follow. 

Goldie is doing his Spring Shed -- why? I wonder -- he's an indoor cat; sitting at the screen door a few hours during a warm day is his closest to experiencing outdoors.

in the garden the white lilac is in bloom.
