KITTIES

There is an awful lot of this going on, while the weather is cool. Frankly, it's a miracle that I get anything done, with the Charlie and Hermione ongoing lovefest being so darn cute. :-) A couple of nights ago. Chloe started chattering and meowing and making me run to see what was the matter. In case you haven't figured it out - she was following a spider, in the upper left corner of two of the photos.
