In the front yard lurketh:

Now that winter is through, they have ceased their tom foolery with the bird feeders though they do still enjoy shuffling around on the front porch at night (sets Penelope to wild bouts of woofing and snuffing at random intervals).

    Miss Plume,

    Ollie the rebel and Augustus the Caesar send you kisses with their little cat lips and ask you over to their blog so you can admire their savvy. They are sooo very proud of the things you make.

    xo

  11. Oh, that's so cool! I'm impressed that such fabulous animals are happy to snuffle around your backyard, and hang out on your porch 🙂

  12. Hope Montana is treating you right. I keep thinking of more books for you –

    Little, Big by John Crowley
    A Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin

    They are both sort of fairy tales with words you can get lost in. Take care.
