I have missed Teddy and Lupin. It has been a long time since I've been here. Nice to see you all.

Thanks, Candace! It was a wonderful afternoon. . . and I look forward to more library visits this year.

Me too! Too depressing. I watched "Foyle's War" instead.

I miss the Lupin and Teddy. Are they posting on another platform these days?

Poppy knows how to get through cold, dark, rainy days. INSIDE the pillowcase. It's much too drafty on top of the pillow. #cats #staywarm

I used to work in a library, and there was a sign on the wall that said "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."

Fred and Poppy today. They love that this cat tower is between a window and the gas fireplace.

Well, here I am! Thought I'd post a bit of blue sky to celebrate. This is Central New York, about a month ago. A much-loved part of the world, but not where I live now. Looking forward to meeting new and old friends in this new (happier, I hope) place.
