Sunday March 31, 2024 Pic of the Day.
The end of March and Easter Sunday are here. Norton looks like a little bunny here, so I thought this was a good picture for today. Happy Easter!
Today's Quote: "Easter is a movable event, calculated by the relative positions of sun and moon, an impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival. These changing dates do not point to the history of a man, but to the hero of a solar myth." -Annie Besant

Norton is a fun and silly cat. A nice counterpoint to the evil going on at the time the picture was taken.

I'm on a Patty roll. When I started looking at pictures of her, there were so many I wanted to show, and since I don't often show Patty compared to Dexter and Andi, I thought it would be OK.

Another picture of Patty that I really like.
Today's Quote: “By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again.
Not that year.
Winter hung in there, like an invalid refusing to die. Day after grey day the ice stayed hard; the world remained unfriendly and cold.”
― Neil Gaiman, Odd and the Frost Giants

Friday March 15, 2024 Pic of the Day.
Interesting picture. I like the light in this picture, and the look on Fiona's face somehow suits the lighting. To me, it looks like a photo done in the style of a painting from a few hundred years ago.

Avensby enjoying the heat from the register to the left of her in this picture. If you look closely, you can see she is watching me.
Today's Quote: “Yes, but it’s, you know—every year, you’re all, ‘March! This is going to be great! Start of spring!’ But it’s definitely not, right? Because there will be a weird, freak snowstorm, and it’s like winter’s started all over. Unexpected things happen in March.” - Kate Clayborn, Love Lettering
Picture Taken: January 2020.
Sunday March 03, 2024 Pic of the Day.
I was walking Dexter on the leash in the yard, when Dennis, a semi-feral cat came by to say hello to me. From the looks of Dennis and Dexter, this is an uncomfortable moment. They don't seem hostile to each other however.
