Here are a few snapshots of the foster kittens that have been running around the place lately:

Psghetti. She was adopted the day I took this photo.

Meatball. She is Psghetti's sister, and still needs a good home.

Teddy. He and his brother Stitch have grown quite a bit since I last posted a photo of them.

And, as a bonus, part of a really beautiful sunset as seen from my office. To see the heavy rain in this lighting was spectacular.

In my last post, more than four months ago (oy, that's bad!), we had just acquired four new children, 11, 3, 3, and 16 months, and were settling in and getting adjusted.  And then I didn't blog all summer.  Or for most of the first month of autumn.  A few people wondered whether I was eaten by a…
So it has been an embarassingly long time since I last wrote anything for this blog.  Long enough that I owe you all an apology.  It started out simply enough - I did something I've done a million times, picked up a full water bucket for our cow.  Not sure what I did differently, but I did…
Some of you may know that a publisher contacted me last year about turning a piece of short fiction I'd written from an adult perspective into a young adult novel. There are several reasons I wanted to do this - the first is that in many ways, the young adult fiction market is much more vital than…
Kevin has only 5 more days in China so, apart from rain, various farewell dinners are keeping him too busy to do much collecting. Except, this time, it is a different kind of herping altogether, watching the alligators at a farm and diving for turtles. Anhui 4 September My last complete day in…

Boy, it's nice to have kittens around. After many years of adopting adult cats, we've had three kittens in the last six years--first one long-haired tabby female from a pregnant queen that appeared in a co-worker's yard, then a pair of grey kittens being raised feral behind my dad's place. They are all fine mousers and ratters. In addition, the brothers dig up earthworms and bring home random toys from weather stripping to dessicated squirrel carcases.

Wonderful photos of your fosters. Fostering is one of the most rewarding feelings I've ever had. Especially when forever homes are found. Thanks for all you do for animals.

They are all simply adorable.
