I have been reluctant to mow the lawn. First, I hate mowing the lawn, and second, the lawn is full of wild flowers, which are in turn being pollinated by my bees.

Willie is our oldest cat. The vet record says that he is 15 years and 7 months, but Erica thinks he is a year younger. He is fat and old and diabetic. I have to give him insulin twice a day. He usually spends his free time eating or sleeping. (All time for cats is free time.)

He has started to get active and enjoy the outdoors. Here is a picture that Erica took of Willie, Gracie and Ollie playing the invisible mouse game in the tall grass on the side of the house.

Here is a close-up of Willie with a crazy look in his eyes.
