Adopted

This is what morning looks like in North Dakota. It will be a sunny day and hopefully the corn will be dry enough to combine. We have moved the trucks across the highway to the east. When that is done, harvest is finished. There are still small things to do, putting machinery away for winter, and fixing a slow leak in the tractor tire.

Remember our Sunday visitor? It has become a familiar face, showing up twice a day with a loud meow asking for food, and sitting by the door as if it has always been here. It is very affectionate, with lots of rubbing and purring and licking my hand. I could do without that last part. I wash my hands when I come in. It is getting to the point where the cat should really have a name other than "Hey, kitty". I will have to think about it.

I am close to finished with Mike's quilt, thanks to a slow clinic day yesterday. It is made of batik fabric on the front, but I am tempted to put something softer on the back. We will see. Time to be getting ready for work...quilt shop day. Hooray!

    i'm voting for pigeon. but maybe calling it pheasant is more ND.

    what about grace? (since the evil housekeeper swiped the last one)

    hmm.... let me know! so glad you have a kitty again. is it okay that it makes me more eager to visit?
