Winston

Today's happenings:

This morning I went to a cafe in Concord to meet up with friends.  There is a group of us that meet most Sundays, I don't tend to make it there often.  There is research I have been wanting to do and this is the time I set aside to do that.  The research didn't happen.  Instead we talked about secret shenanigans.  It was a good morning.

In the afternoon, my friend Amy came to help me move things.  She brought me plants for the apartment!  

New plants!
A polka plant and a crispy wave.

Keziah was taking a nap, and Zed and Gideon were at the store.  Amy and I got boxes from my old room and took them downstairs to the living room in the house. Then when a bunch of boxes were in the living room, we brought them to the apartment being careful to not let the cats out.  I didn't see the cats, but we made sure to keep the door closed.

When Keziah woke up I asked if she wanted to help and that if we could lock the cats in her room it would be easier.  We couldn't find Winston, the orange tabby.  We searched and searched and couldn't find him.  Keziah started looking for him outside with no luck.  Eventually we took the time to move a bunch more boxes.  There was definitely progress on getting boxes out of my old bedroom and into the living room of the attached apartment. 

When I had reached my limit of moving things we took a break.  Keziah went up to her room to distract herself from Winston. As Zed and Gideon came home, Amy and I set out on a walk.  We walked along the street, looking for Winston as we did.  

A little way down the road I got a call from Keziah.  Winston was found!  Zed found him hiding in one of the litter boxes.  I had checked ALL the litter boxes earlier.  He seemed to be hiding from us, like he was in trouble?  I'm just glad he was found okay. 

Amy went home.  Zed and I did a little bit of grocery shopping before dinner and we had a restful family night watching Star Trek Voyager.  

Here are some pictures of flowers and the beginnings of the sunset from today:

Peony!

Rose!
