Word from the home front

Murphy Update: He had his staples out Monday and as of yesterday seems to have turned a corner on his getting around. He's back to following us around, going out front in the morning and checking his pee-mail and generally alert and looking good. The vet said he looked great and was doing well.

Fuzzy is so glad to have us back he wakes us up at night a couple of times just to tell us how glad he is :-).  Here he is playing with the neighbor cat on the back fence.

Rufous hummingbirds are here and fiercely aggressive - here's one of the plump little devils. He chases away the males but doesn't seem to harass the females when they come to the feeder to drink.

And finally one of my favorite subjects - light and dark!
