This is the dogwood tree at Bindy and Libby's house. Alice snuck over to harrass Bindy for all the times she harrassed us while we were stuck inside, but the keeper heard her growling and went next door and carried her home. Humiliation... almost as bad as being carried in from our own backyard when we are not done hunting birds. ( and the birds laugh at us.)Today the keeper went to the Cathedral and it was a little heavy there...summer, lots of people gone, and many visitors, but also everyone seemed weary. They had celebrated two staff funerals at the end of the week. heavy. Even though they were celebrating the end of the pauline year, it didn't feel wildly celebratory. In fact, while the keeper understood that it was a pauline feast of sorts, she said she was a little disappointed to discover that after listening to the long version of the Gospel of the sick little girl and the woman with the flow of blood, neither of these often forgotten feminine Gospel characters were mentioned in the homily.
Also it was Gay Pride weekend and the parade was taking place as Mass was ending, and still hoard of folks were flowing out down Capital Hill toward Seattle Center and downtown. She said it looked like a lot of crazy fun and some stupidity too.
The real focus of the keeper's energy this weekend though, needed to be at the computer finishing off her grant proposal. It's still not done, so we suspect she won't be in bed too soon tonight. She only has til Tuesday to finish it. She's good at marathon writing projects, and we will leave her alone.
Perhaps she will let us stay outside all day tomorrow!
