Ah morning... 'tis bleak and grey but the birds sing, and that's something. I am not a morning person and I find it unfair I must get up. Rar! I have strange cats who fear the door to outside. I tried to show one the birds and he got scared and ran away.

The view from my apartment is all trees into the ravine. Boats line the river and across from me is the bridge and library, but they are more or less blocked once the leaves come. And the are coming. Everything is green tipped and unfurling. I have raccoons, squirrels and what must be coyotes that howl and bark at night. Once I frightened a Canadian Goose off my balcony when I opened my door in the morning

I love my apartment. I hope I can keep it... there is a leaky crack that one of 2 owners wants to let lie which I cannot live with and all my furniture is squished into the front of my bachelor... o woe is me

But I am feeling awake now so off to emails I go.

Happy Hunting.
