    Well, I couldn’t find my trusty which is a cat-decorated shirt that says “This is My Crazy Cat Lady Costume.” 😻 Fortunately I have twelve backup shirts that also feature cats and this leopard-print adult onesie. 😅 Close call.

    I can't summarize how much I enjoyed the overwhelming humanity & creativity at . So I won't. ... Instead I will share that I now have 2 hummingbirds visiting my feeder—Hummphrey and Hummbelina—and am accepting name suggestions in case a third arrives.
