Purring is my preferred mode of speech.
My day is going well. I took my cat in to get his tank filled with those precious electrolytes, and learned that he has gained 16 ounces since he started treatment. I really purred loudly at that news! Other than that, I'm savouring my last day of freedom before I return to work. It's grey skies with showers today. The temperature is reasonable, but it always seems colder when it's rainy. It's just a matter of perception, really. I can't imagine how you can work outside in such hot weather.
I have some California poppies blooming, but they aren't much more than a foot tall. My climbing roses (don't know their names) are in full bloom, and I was out pruning the dead flowers off yesterday. And I bought a large basket of petunias in white, pink and mauve.
My computer is crawling this morning so it takes a while to reply. So I apologize for any delay.
