Marina’s Incognito Tree is back to being hard to see.

Gigi’s Tree with Laurie, moon and contrail

Glenda is on the right half under Sasha on the left. Then Gwendolyn, Spunk and Silver. Spunk’s tail is on my toes. Loki is on Laurie. Marble might have been under the covers with Laurie, but I can’t say for sure.

24ºF outside + 54ºF inside + 5:00 in the morning = 5 Cats on me and a tail on my toes. Hmmm! Tail on Toes would make a great name for a post-rock band. Tones on Tail was a great post-punk band.

Jake

Oriana and Celina like to walk Jake down to Starbucks and get him a Pupachino. Normally, not much happens other than Jake gets lots of attention from strangers, which he loves, and between all the attention, the walk, and the Pupuchinos, he is worn out. When they brought Jake back this afternoon, he was wound up.

The story goes that on the way to Starbucks, Oriana dropped Erma’s card she was to use to pay for Erma’s order. When Oriana discovered she didn’t have the card, she ran back to the office to see if she left it at the office and then started looking for it on her way back to Starbucks.

Meanwhile, Jake got excited by all the commotion about the missing card, and Oriana taking off to run back to the office and pulled himself free from Celina. Celina said that instead of running after Oriana, Jake ran around the Starbucks building and ran up to the drive-up window, presumably to order another Pupachino. Celina extracted Jake from the drive-up window and met Oriana, who had not found Erma’s card.

On the way back to the office to tell Erma they had lost her card, Jake stopped to sniff and roll, and there was the card where Jake had stopped. They ran back to Starbucks, got Erma’s order, and ordered Jake another Pupachino as a reward for finding the card. All in the day in the life of a Cosmo Dog!

Workers have cleared the underbrush and cut down dead trees in the bosque along the levee. I feared for the Tangle Heart Tree, but alas, there is a live limb on the Tangle Heart Tree, so it is safe for the time being. The area where they have cleared around the trees looks great.

The neighbor’s tree arcing in the powerlines looked a little like the full moon behind Resa’s Tree.

Fluffy clouds between storms

Spunk had to hit the cheese this morning after being up most of the night watching and growling at the buzzing, popping, and flashes from the tree branches arcing in the powerlines.

Got Comet?

Full Moon behind clouds and Resa’s Tree

I tried to get the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet the last few nights. It should have been in the top third, just right of center, but I could only see a few stars and wormy-looking clouds.

We’ve had a lot of wind the past few days—ripply water on the Rio Grande.

Late breaking news. As Tristan was leaving tonight, she noticed “fireworks” to the north of us. The fireworks were the wind blowing the neighbor’s tree branches in the powerlines, causing them to arc. I called the fire department, and they sent three fire trucks to check it out. The wind died down by the time the fire department arrived, so they didn’t get to see the show, but they could see where the branches had been arcing on the powerlines. The power company is supposed to come out after they finish restoring a power outage and trim back the branches.

Will You Be My Friend?

Jake and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon and crossed paths the a coyote for the second day in a row. When I told Jake to sit, the coyote also sat, looking like he might like to be friends with Jake. The coyote was apprehensive, given the fact that Jake is three times larger than the coyote.

It started raining while Jake and I were on our walk. A bright rainbow came out of Shey’s tree.
