Yesterday’s Green. Everything. How can it not be about green in these days? I think I will take the summer off from writing here. Just go with pictures and talking.

Soul-o. I think we have made the transition. He is now the cat he was back on the Island. Cautious but outside. The difference is that we don’t let him out after dark.

There’s just no end for my love of light through a cat’s ear. Soul-o has become a ham. The dye po(e)t was out on the porch all winter and became a bit of a compost pail. It froze and thawed over and over. much of the liquid evaporated. I will add some back and boil it up today. I hope to build an outside fire pit soon.
