From a visit to Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford, Illinois in early September. A very peaceful place.

First #daffodils opening up in the greater Chicagoland area. They just needed a sunny day.
Four bright yellow daffodils have opened. The daffodil leaves are a bright medium shade of green with a vibrant dark green pine bush behind them. The ground is covered with pale brown pine needles that have fallen from the bush.

Found out today that Oliver has IBD. So far, he's had stomatitis (full dental extraction, all better), pillow paw (cleared up after extraction), and now this. We have a treatment plan from our vet, so I'm not looking for suggestions, just saying I hope he can catch a break and treatment works.

Baby Oliver sitting on the stairs, waiting for breakfast. He's about seven months old here (six years old later this year). He still sits like this every morning to wait for breakfast. If you are slow, he will find you, politely tap you with his paw, and go back to wait.

We call Louie the supervisor because he likes to monitor everyone's activities. Today, he is performing a quality check on Oliver's grooming. Oliver is thrilled.

Louie spent fifteen minutes with his head buried in the blanket, purring and kneading. We laughed at him, and then he judged us for not taking his awesome nest making abilities seriously.

This is Oliver, who also had a full dental extraction for stomatitis. He is much healthier and happier without his teeth. He loves chilling with other cats, so he's probably disappointed he can't meet his fellow toothless cats.

#Wisconsin, be ready to vote on April 1st.
Text says: Politicians have no place in your reproductive decisions. While Susan Crawford worked to protect abortion rights in Wisconsin as an attorney, Brad Schimel supports banning abortion with no exceptions. Vote Judge Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 1st.
