A lot has happened since then. Our butterfly bush was blown down by the wind and now blooms from a horizontal position. Unfortunately, it doesn't photograph well in that position. The branches now grow upright from the ground, but the flower spikes still bloom in all directions as they did when the plant was a tree taller than I am.
Much worse than that, though, is that Garfield also disappeared this spring. Our neighbors started with four cats. One of them had a kitten. Now the kitten is all they have left. I hate to think what happened to the others. I miss them all.
So sorry to hear about the cat disappearances. I had that happen with some cats we had in Happy Camp. The usual suspect was a cougar, since we lived in the forest. I enjoy reading your daily Paso Robles notes!
ReplyDeleteI think these cats were the victims of coyotes. We got coyote concerts almost every night while I was still there. The cats were outdoor cats. There are plenty of trees and rooftops to climb, but maybe they didn't run fast enough.
