Henry

This two-toned kitty seems to be sticking around.

'He' hides under the neighbor's desk, drinks water from our sump pump discharge pool (gross!), but he's begun to nervously approach when I pour out kibble.

We've put out fresh water, and the squirrels and raccoons like it, but Henry still drinks from the pool.

Henry as a name came to me as I sat on the deck, talking to him as he watched me from next door.

Maybe it's because I'd recently finished two books about Kings Richard III and Henry VII, but when I mentioned that to The Hubby, he started singing an oldie song by Herman's Hermits about Henry VIII!

No one needs that ear worm...NOBODY!

So, am thankful today that I cut across his singing before that could implant into my brain.

Empty Yard

While we are pleased to have no new stray/homeless cats in our yard, that doesn't mean I'm not out there looking for them:

Am thankful for our time as community cat carers, and will spring to action should any cat choose to hang about.

'Hood Walk Gifts

Am so very thankful for the profusion of wildlife that I witness while in my 'hood.

Each one feels like a gift just for me to enjoy.

Here's a small sample:

Jackson and Luna (one-eye)

Caterpillar of a Polyphemus moth or a Luna moth

Stray ginger cat, peeking at me

Another caterpillar!
Maybe a Sycamore Moth or American Dagger Moth

Ruby, a sweet wee doggo

Gone Native

June 19-25, 2023 is National Pollinator Week; an annual event to support pollinator health.

We've been planting native-to-Michigan species in our gardens for years, but we are always surprised by what we find...

Like a black cat, and it's not one of ours.

Wild Geranium

Mystery plant; my plan says I put a Buttonbush here, but this is NOT a buttonbush!
Update: It's a Red-Berried Elder.

Penstemon, love the delicate colors...

Am grateful that we have the means to dig up the yard, good guidance in what to plant from our friend CE, and as a lazy gardener, new plants are watered in, then they are on their own.
