Six month old Stella, who came to us last month as a very malnourished stray, is going to have “five or more” kittens in a few weeks according to our vet. This certainly wasn’t in anyone’s plans(not Stella’s either, I’m guessing), but here we are. #blackcat

Sunday with Stella. 🐈‍⬛😻

Some Stella love.

Vet visit for 5 month old Stella. It was fun until it wasn’t

When the cat distribution system sends one, you can never say no. Meet Stella! She’ll be moving in to start the introduction to our cat after her vet appointment Tuesday.

It appears the cat distribution system has decided Sof needs a new friend. 🤦‍♀️ Operation Lia has commenced. 😻

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Happy 100th #benfranklinbridge!

Me and my friend Max visiting today.

Amsterdam.

My friend sent me this and said she saw it in her local library. “It is Merrill Memorial Library in Yarmouth Maine. And our population is only 8000 and yet as I said, very well used.” Glad it’s finding new fans! @triohousepress.org
