My current work in progress is another bird chart, this one of sandpipers, plovers, and similar shorebirds. This one has been in progress for a while, and taking a long time! Maybe this is why... Or maybe it's because of the ridiculously tiny brushes I use. The ones I keep picking up are 3/0 rounds.

There is a bee colony in the walls! First, we saw a few bees in the house so we went outside and looked around. We found them on the wall outside getting in through the gutter.

A cat.

We have a cat hanging around here. He showed up last week digging in our trash so we gave him real food and have been feeding him since.

He was definitely someone's cat because he is fixed, but he doesn't have a collar- I don't know if he is lost or abandoned. Tell you what, he won't sit still for a photo...

Cats, backyard, not much.

One of my new roomies has seven cats. We were rather nervous about there being so many, but they are all very sweet and also energetic and fun to play with. Then when they get tired from playing they sleep together so lovingly!! I love them! Glimpses of my new backyard... Unfortunately at this time it's too hot, sticky, and buggy to properly explore. But I can tell it's going to be fun in the fall!
