The lazy summer nights lie thick upon the city. Why not spend it meeting some critters and vibing with some like-minded folks?

I had a sad week last week (nothing dire or cat-related, just stupid bs that wears you down), but then today my friend Adelle was casually like โ€œoh, I have something for youโ€ and pulls out AN ENVELOPE OF VINTAGE CAT PHOTOS. It was the right thing at the right time to make everything better. ๐Ÿ’•

I raised my two sons on the love of reading. They always carried a book in their pocket. My younger son died 22 years ago at the age of 24. He was buried in his leather jacket with the book he was reading in the pocket to read in the afterlife.

Spotted this Galerina with the sun catching its cap yesterday. I could not decide if the close-up, the distant, or the in-between photo was the best. Went in the middle. Others below. Which one do you like?
