We celebrated Suzette’s birthday tonight. We decided to do a family portrait at the last minute.

Geese @ dawn

This kitty has been hanging around, fighting with our cats through the wire in the catio, for quite a while. The first time I saw this kitty several months ago, I was awakened by him fighting with Silver at 2:00 a.m. I stumbled out into the catio to see what was going on. I looked up to see this kitty looking down at me through the wire at the top of the catio. Seeing it in the darkness when I was half awake, it really looked like Spunk. I said, “Spunk! How did you get outside?” The kitty simply stared at me. I went back inside to put on shoes so I could go outside and collect Spunk, but there Spunk was on the bed.

Laurie with the Bullsnake. ¡Olé!
A large bullsnake was lying in the road. A large pickup truck rolled over it, but luckily it avoided running over the snake with the truck’s tires. I got out of our car, scooped up the bullsnake, and handed it to Laurie. The snake was squirking around, so she rolled down her wind and let it hang its head out the window like a dog. It calmed down a bit as we drove home. After photographing each other with the snake, I let it go in Rebecca’s Black Bamboo.
It seemed most appropriate that I was wearing an Alice Cooper T-shirt while holding the Bullsnake.

Jake and I saw a coyote on our walk at dusk.

Intermission: A photo taken by Laurie of the forest close to Tristan’s house in Germany.

Gwendolyn, the round-eyed devil, was waiting for grass.
