The Bird, the Cat, and the Rain

What a great looking bird!

The cat came first - Tuesday night. He was yowling to get in a friend's house. They already have a cat so they sent him down here to spend the night (yes, they all know the soft touch around here). He is a very smart cat - has been sitting on our laps and purring since his arrival. I put up "Found" signs with his picture in our compound and the 2 neighboring compounds but no one has claimed him. Somebody probably moved and left him behind. As you can see, he has made himself at home!

Thanksgiving at our compound was very nice - about 60 people and 5 turkeys. Lots and lots of food! Ate way too much. Then, the day after Thanksgiving it rained! Just for a few minutes, but it was precipitation. Cold today - only about 80. We put up the Christmas tree and decorations today. Got a new tree - it's upside down!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
