My apologies for anyone who has sent me a message lately. I've been out of sorts, as they say. My kitty Bonsai passed away on October 24th of feline diabetes. I had him from the time he was 6 weeks old, and he was 13. We took care of him as best we could, but he had been going downhill for a while. I know in my heart he is better now, on the Other Side with his sister and family, but I still miss him.

With that and working lots of hours, I have just been exhausted. My health isn't the greatest, and I've been trying to take better care of myself. It isn't easy. There have been a lot of things going on, and sometimes I just want to run away screaming, hehe. I could not, however, have gotten through any of it without my wonderful mate.

I'll answer mails and such as soon as I can, and try to post some more pictures. The garden ones came out pretty good, but others of the summer were kindof dark for my tastes. One of these days, I will get picture taking right.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Autumn.
