ME III: strange day

· Maine Event

Well, we woke up feeling pretty good considering we got double vaccinated mid-afternoon yesterday. We are both low energy and extra tired but have managed to get a few things done despite that. We also went on several slow meandering walks. Here is an article about male group therapy that sounded like it worked!

In cat news, this article in National Geographic from a few years ago talks about how cats were never domesticated and that they have chosen to live alongside us. Essentially they liked our rodents and hung out with us and gradually we learned to live together. Their genetic code is basically the same as their wild counterparts. The main threat to the African wildcat is breeding with domesticated cats. Here is a short piece on the African wildcat.

Those little pumpkins have a new life and it is still September!
Flowers at the community garden.
This dahlia was 5 inches across. The photo really doesn't do it justice.

Graveyard mushroom
Just sayin'
Cats of Portland
Gorgeous specimen of a Shagbark Hickory. The only one I know of in the West End.
Gorgeous house. Fabulous entryway.
Too cloudy and too late for a sunset.
Another nice entry.

Have a great evening.

Sending love, Tawnia
