#Caturday pre-gaming with Pumpkin, who is still on my lap after 25 minutes and may be going for a record.

You call it dropped laundry. I call it found carpet. We are not the same.

C asked me earlier when I was having bubble guts after lunch whether I was all right, and I said yes, but then I teared up trying to remember what "all right" felt like. Then I got Delenn's voice stuck in my head saying "I think of my beautiful city in flames."

Hey, #Plantstodon folks, would anyone know what this flowering vine is that has decided to start crawling over the bushes by my house? At first it looked like all it was doing was weighing the bushes down, but now it's burst into little white Xes.

Is it native to the Delaware Valley? Invasive? A pollenator? Likely to turn into doppelgangers of my neighbors?
