Your flowers sound so nice! One of the things I'm looking forward to getting some plants to put in pots by the front door. That really brightens up a house.

The vets have learned to touch Zip as little as possible. He got his ear and eye exam from a good six inches away so that he wouldn't try to take Dr. Kathy's face off. As long as Zip stays healthy, he seems to do okay with vet car at arm's length. :D

The weather is lovely here today -- crisp and not too hot. There are two doves at the feeder on the back deck. I've never seen them up so close before, as they're usually really shy.
