It’s been a year since our cat Madeline had to have nasty lumps removed from her neck, as I described here and here. Maddy recovered from that unhappy incident and grew into a rather lovely cat. Here are a couple of photos of her in celebration of her ongoing good health:

Lately she’s taken an interest [...]

I just posted a few photos of flowers in our yard here on my Flickr site. There will be more in the not-too-distant future; the senior clematis, for instance, started blooming just yesterday and I have not yet photographed it.
