Black cat (he's so beautiful!) sitting on a porch rail, looking over his shoulder. His ears are cocked, in his eyes an anxious sparkle. Behind him, in the background, a white-flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) is giving the very best of its springtime display.

It's a big, scary world outside of the porch screen.

A big, scary world full of flowering dogwoods.

#MrAlbrecht was very proud of "helping" with today's work on the big painting project.

Mr. Albrecht, beautiful black cat, scrunching up his face in disgust. He was disgusted with me, as he's very much a "NO PHOTOS!" kind of cat.

Mr. Otto is a ridiculous floof of a gray cat (but he's pretty). Here, he's flopped on my lap, belly up receiving belly rubs. His front paws are almost comically raised and folded over, in complete submission to the pets. In the middle of the photo is a misshapen hand: kindly ignore, it belongs to me and is my secret shame (not-so-secret, it being my right hand).

#MrAlbrecht captures my feelings about having some nonsense call to handle; #MrOtto tries to cheer me up.
