A riot of light in my backyard from the aurora borealis tonight.

My cat Mo is on guard and ready to defend us from ghosts.

Window voids.

Grading update: I have graded the assignments that were downloaded onto my iPad but need to get up to use my desktop computer to grade the rest. however, one of the kittens is asleep on me. A win for kittens, a loss for grading.

Furry round vortex. (her name is Trouble).
