What a week.

I was sick, Bunny the cat was sick (and we both still are but at least it's beginning to fade), tax time, rain, snow...and then the good side: robins, frogs at the edge of the pond, Robbie Robertson's new album, some lovely blog invitations for ORDINARY BEAUTY, and on and on.

The other night, a bear visited the patio:



And came right up to the house, which freaked the cats and triggered my flight response, big time. He was handsome, though, and polite even as he raided the garbage can. We took a picture and the flash spooked him, and he hasn't been back yet.

Big boy.
