We have had a fantastic week here……and I’ve spent my time in the yard with the exception of “girls day.” Everything is blooming at once and I have been picking flowers to press and put on cards. This is the first year I’ve had pansies and I am amazed how resilient they are. My friend, Dode, gave me two different kinds and I planted them in container pots where they would be free of the cats and Napoleon. Evidently it’s fun to nap in my flowers. Referring back to the pansies its fun to try something different and to enjoy the contribution they make.

Napoleon is doing great. If you discount half of his tail being gone and his poor swollen foot he’s not too bad off for his untimely experience. I’m so thankful he is able to walk again……and amazed he could fly up in the tree every night. It must have been very difficult to do with one foot. He does a push-off the ground to propel the flight up…..he’s got a lot of heart.

There is more to tell but it will have to wait. It’s time to end my day here….in our beautiful Ozarks.
