Sure enjoyed the Zoom meeting. Nancy Luke, I have been thinking of
you for a few days. Glad you are safe from the current scourge.
Sister Madeleine, sorry you had to undergo an operation, but it
seems that gallbladders are not as essential as other appendages
(organs?), so that's good. Hope you repair quickly!<br>
<br>
So, about Athena. She lives in the front garden (jungle?) from
mid-May to mid-September. There seems to be plenty to eat, but
since she spends her winters indoors, she has developed a taste
for the easy life. Toward the end of last summer, she came and
scratched at the door three or four times. This summer, she has
made it a habit, like every two or three days. If she scratches in
the morning, she heads for her indoor feeding area to get some
Romaine. I leave the nearby sliding door ajar, and she generally
returns to the garden after eating. If she shows up in the late
afternoon, she opts for one of her bedrooms (either under a
bookshelf or under the computer stand at my desk). Then</font><font face="Arial"><font face="Arial"> the next morning</font> I send
her packing.<br>
<br>
On September 7th, </font><font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">through
a window </font>I happened to notice that Athena was headed for
the door. I grabbed my pocket camera and went out the side door to
to record the event. The camera does not have much of a zoom, and
I did not want to get so close that I would unwittingly distract
her. In hindsight, I wish I had swept the front patio (stuff blows
in from the garden)! <br>
<br>
There were some technical issues, but I fixed them today. This is
hardly a fast-paced action flick, but blessedly, it only lasts a
minute and a half.<br>
