Dear Barnard has settled in to our weekend routine. In the past couple of days she's grown quite bold, walking into the bedroom when Ulani and Luke are on the bed, defending her place on the recliner when Luke wants that seat, screaming at the top of her lungs if Luke walks under the dining table.
She's home!
Look how she uses Ulani's fur to warm her own feet! Barnard was on the couch first, and Ulani had to squish herself into the available space. This cat was not scooting over!

Well, two of us are.

On solitude and chickens
- I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. -- Thoreau
- There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall. -- Colette
- I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other. -- Rilke
- As innocent as a new-laid egg. -- W. S. Gilbert
- Raising children is like being pecked to death by chickens. --Anonymous, but my mother gave it to me!
- Language...has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone. --Paul Johannes Tillich
- Life begins when you plant a garden. -- Chinese proverb
- The great omission in American life is solitude...that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit. --Marya Mannes

I love it! The girls are sticking together. Carol

Oh no, is she using that high pitched, loud alley cat screech? Nora used to use that with Julie. Now she mainly uses it with Mabel. They had a little dust up next to my bed at 2 in the morning a few weeks ago. That'll get your heart started!
Bless the beasts and you, too!
