Here are some kitten antics to brighten your day! :-)

The ferocious beast likes to climb into the lilac branches. :-D

The like playing with the sun spots, too.

I let David come down with me, and he is very interested in his little doppelganger!

The other kittens and Beep Beep were just too fast moving for me to get any pictures of them. :-D

Outside, meanwhile, the some of the lilacs are reaching the height of their blooming period.

These ones are the first bloomers. The white lilacs and the double lilacs take a bit longer, then there are two other varieties that bloom in succession. So we have lilacs of one kind or another, blooming for quite a long time.

I really appreciate the things that make me smile. Particularly on mornings like today, when I check the trail cam and find our vandal has come for another visit. Twice in the past week, he’s come to the gate, only to make rude gestures down the driveway. Last Saturday, he walked over and stood there, giving the finger with both hands, in multiple directions. I think he spotted the trail cam, but I’m not sure. Either way, he was mugging for the camera. Last night, he drove over on his quad, pulled up alongside the gate to gesture down the driveway with one hand. Almost lost control of the quad. Pretty sure he was quite drunk, both times.

Rather pathetic, really.

Ah, well. At least he’s not trying to vandalize anything anymore.
