I was glad to be back in Hooterville, where I was enthusiastically greeted by the cats. The thrill of me wore off pretty quickly, though, and was almost immediately replaced by the wish to go outside and play, which they did.
I stayed inside, to unpack my things and stuff before tackling the litter box and feeding and watering the cats. The litter box looked like the Andes after my two day absence.
Once everything was restored to order, I headed over to the family estate to say hi to Megan and Rob (Jonathan was off on an adventure). Things are rocking and rolling over there. There are new fruit trees, including a second cherry tree now sharing the net palace with the original cherry tree:
You can see the original cherry tree in the background here, behind the rows of raspberries:
Strawberries are on the way:
It was a beautiful day to wander around the growing orchard:

Megan picked a bouquet for me of my favorite lilacs and the sweet peas we grow every year for Dad. These are called April in Paris:
April in Hooterville is pretty good, too.
FIVE YEARS AGO: Some bad habits.
TEN YEARS AGO: The office cat at the jobette.
TWENTY YEARS AGO: The eternal debate of time vs. money.
