What does Spunk see?
It’s a mystery to me
It’s outside the house
Could be a mouse
Not likely a grouse
A rat, I suppose
Or a cat, who knows
How to make Spunk hiss
And lunge at the glass
With a resounding bang
Makes us jump
Quite insane
Pre-dawn
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.
Cranes streaming in pink
Jupiter and the moon close together this morning.
We went out after sundown last night. The afterglow was strong. As it got darker the afterglow became more intense.
Loki
The sound of rain when the sun is shining with Spunk and Silver in the cat tree?
Spunk?
Spider?
Some Rose
All of the above?
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.
Spunk between arcs and reacting to the arcs
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.
Letting sleeping cats lie
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.
Pre-dawn
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.
A cheesy intermission
The rainbow from river level
Sunset
Godzilla blocking the full moon
Orion, Jupiter, Kiss Flying V, The Pleiades
Orian, Jupiter, The Pleiades, and more
La ti da! Da ti la!
Henry! Henrieta!
Kiss me, you fool!
Now that the cranes are showing up, I’ll have to take the Bazooka out to capture them.

Pre-dawn. Jupiter is the bright spot.
Oriana and Jake comparing nails
heading home
Jake has become quite the Cosmo Dog. He rides in a sports car. He goes to the office and works with pretty women. He goes to Starbucks for Pupaccinos and mingles with the patrons. Today, he met a couple from England who own the balloon with the British flag.
