I had a lot of good ideas until the blank screen was facing me!

Spring arrived around the second week of May.  It was preceded by one of those long depressing winters that make you feel like a dementor has taken up residence in your home.  The lethargy was chased away by the spring ephemeral wildflowers, false morels and a stray kitten.  I know!  I know!   You want to hear all about the new kitten :)  Eric got me out of bed early one morning by claiming that there was a "catmergency" outside.

  He found a sick and wet kitten taking refuge in our wood pile.  We did all the right things to find out if she had an owner, but no one claimed her.  Zakary won the "who gets to name her" fight, and Cruizer has officially joined the family.
