Sorry, Oh Best Beloved, about the dearth in posting lately. I have much to post about, but we’ve been besieged with unexpected events that have kept me away.

Such as? asks you.

Such as Michael getting whacked in the head and suffering a concussion.

Ow…

He’s recovering quickly and nicely, thank you very much, but those kinds of injuries are nasty and scary both.

For all who have asked (especially Kris!): Stewart has made the transition to a winter bunny quite successfully. He has hopped about our yard so much since our last snowfall that the snow looks in places as if it has been trampled down by an entire herd of rabbits.

Oh, yes - the owls are still about, but they’ve moved on from perching above our yard, to the relief of numerous songbirds (and, of course, Stewart!).

More tomorrow!
