Misu finally has her very own cat tower from which to oversee her queendom from on high!  (Highly reduced in price for clearance as well, so we couldn’t deny her majesty.)  Here she is getting high!

Outside, the extreme heat is not discouraging all the pollinators, butterflies, hummers, goldfinches, etc. from their feeding frenzy.  I caught a squirrel in the act of hanging from the sunflowers and carrying off a whole one in its mouth.  The raven mobsters instantly clean up all my BBQ carnage.  We observe new varieties of birds each day, attracted by my bird feeders and more diversity of plants.  Every morning I find remnants of my so-called corn crop scattered everywhere.  Everybody seems to have the munchies!
