Meet Tommy


Our newest family member has reminded us why kittens are so much fun to watch. He's a bit of an imp, full of energy and brimming with personality!

Tommy loves bird watching from his perch in the cat tree...

...but right now it's time for a nap!

He loves exploring, including under the rug.























He also managed to hoist himself up over the  fireplace screen to do some more exploring

Here he's preparing to attack another long-suffering fur-baby!

















He's actually quite fetching in his tuxedo.

When he naps, it's sometimes challenging to figure out which end is up!



A surprise visitor



I won't even apologize for the photo quality here as these pix were shot through glass and screen. This is a bird we'd never seen before, and we discovered it's a rose-breasted grosbeak. The source we consulted said that they are rarely seen in our area; they travel through as they migrate between their winter and summer homes.
















Quarantine baking



I suppose it's a good thing that there's a flour shortage, or I'd be big as a barn!
