Miscellanous

It's been a while since my last posting.  Much has occurred since.  Not cats, but much.

A new furnace (ouch!), possibility of a new roof (oucher!!), general repairs, refits and reconditionings.  Let me say one word as it regards our bank account:  hemorrhage.  Not been a pretty sight, but at least we've had it saved up.  It has been the topic of much grim conversation here at ChezRanger.

Anyways, on to more cheerful subjects.

Cat.

I've introduced you to Puddin' 2.0, and used a picture of the southern end of a northbound cat to do it.  I can now remedy that.

Here she is!  A lovely, talkative sweetie.  The next pic is of poor quality, but it gives you a sense of her face.

Eager and interested in the outside world.  

And now (because it really needs a separate introduction)...the tail:

Is that somethin' or is that somethin'??  That's Ed, her human.  It's quite common to see them out together in the nice weather.  When it's time to go in, Ed scoops her up and carries her like a football back to the house.

It's been spring here for a week or two.

That means our veronica is blooming, along with our dandelions. (note:  I have no idea how this pic will turn out.  It's about my first pic on the new phone and I am ignorant of how best to work it)

And since it's spring, nay...Easter, LadyRanger and I had one of our fave dinners to celebrate: Morroccan Fish Stew with Harissa.

Yummy to the nth degree.  We use ancho chilles in our harissa and it is all about flavor, not heat.  Purists will scoff, but we like it.

We hope you are all doing well.  Happy Easter!
