"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." - Cynthia Ozick

It's taken them slightly more than two weeks of constant, persistent, relentless effort to reach the point where I let these two friendly locals come indoors and  sleep on the arm chair in the afternoon. They are, as all juveniles, adorable, adoptable and very aptly named. 

On Armistice / Remembrance Day, particularly this year in these difficult times, I am especially grateful for the freedom I enjoy.

Weather watch: 25ºC and brilliantly sunny during the day. Temperature drops rapidly when the sun goes down.
