Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy Place
When I need to get my groove back, I like to snuggle up with a good book and a warm cat. Here's the Warm Cat part, our Aristo-Cat Kikyo, draped over my legs while I recline on my bed with an Outlander book. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/happy-place/

NOT This Week’s Photo Challenge…Clouds
For some reason, I've been paying attention to clouds lately, and noticing the many different form that water vapor in our atmosphere can take. From fluffy white, to menacing dark gray, to wispy mares' tails, clouds are just beautiful to gaze upon. I've taken some new photos, and brought together some from my photo library. …
Reading the Outlander Series-And Learning! Updated-See Italics Below
For the past few months, I have been reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series of novels, about a nurse after World War II, who falls through standing stones in Scotland, and lands 200 years in the past. Her adventures are totally engrossing, and I have been literally losing sleep, as I hate to close the book, …
