Wendy
This beautiful, young, and affectionate gray cat showed up at my friend’s place a few months ago. Cursing the people who had apparently dumped her in the country, my friend waited for Wendy’s first heat cycle so she could be spayed. Then we noticed Wendy was getting rather pear shaped. She had her kittens in the hay barn two weeks ago, but was quite agreeable to them being brought inside the garage where they would be safe from predators. She is a very good mother, and just purrs when people admire, and even handle, her babies.

Ubuntu, the family album
I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux for quite a while. Seeing Ubuntu, the family album led me to check my notes and I realized I have been using it since before Hoary Hedgehog. I apparently started a few months after Warty Warthog was released. Prior to that, I mostly used Fedora Core and Red Hat, with a brief flirtation with Suse.
Hummingbird
We have so many of the voracious little monsters at present that I am filling two feeders a day.

Sunshine!
I almost felt like breaking out into a John Denver song this morning. As a friend in Denver stated: “We’re in our third month of March now.”
