Mr. Cat, at your service.

Throwback photo for #Caturday, from a few years ago taken soon after we moved to this house. Back then Jasper still came up to visit me in my office, usually taking over my desk and putting a halt to all productive work. Between then and now Jasper (now 15 years old) slowed down a good bit and has retired from unnecessary exertion, including stair climbing, so he no longer comes up to disrupt my day. I miss that.

Common Buckeye #butterflies on Gregg’s Mistflower in the front garden. Since it appears that the seasons-change in SE Texas has been cancelled, with daily temps more summer-like than anything approximating autumn, I went ahead and bought some end-of-season-on-sale native perennial butterfly attractor plants and got them in the ground. Success so far, these are the first buckeyes I’ve seen in our garden.

Clearing out all the past-their-prime zinnias from the front garden bed yesterday and this giant swallowtail showed up and hung around the lantana long enough for me to go grab my camera.

“…But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be.
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.”
- Kermit (lyrics from It’s Not Easy Being Green)
