Garden Angel


We spent most of the day outside today. Our keeper gardened and and we lolled around in the sun on the deck. Alice chased a big white cat out of the yard. She leapt over the gate like a steeplechaser, tail all bushy, not stopping to even breathe. She chased the intruder down to the end of the street and watched him turn the corner. Then, just to make sure he wouldn't return, she waited for him some time under our neighbor's car. Our keeper was frantic She lured us in with grilled salmon. Alice deserved a whole filet, but she only got little pieces.
We also welcomed our garden angel back into the yard from wintering in the garage. This angel guards us and all our plants and all the living beings here, even the intruder cats. A big task, since today she planted even more living things---- hanging baskeets and camelias and shrubs and all kinds of seeds and flowers. We just wonder if she will remember to water all of this, with Eloy gone. (He always complained that she didn't understand how plants need water.)
We saw a very fat bumblebee too.
