HELLO HEMINGWAY
The family has grown by one. Our new rescue adoptee
has joined us. Hemingway is a polydactyly-a six toed cat.
When you visit the Ernest Hemingway home in Key West
you'll likely see several six toed cats. I'd never seen
a polydactyly until we were there. Cindy at the HART rescue center named this little cutie after his "cousins" in Key West.
So now we have a socialization process to observe
as this rambunctious and high energy little guy
gets to know his older brother Luke and Nesta the
old gal and reigning fussy Queen.
Here he makes his first journey outside.
Look at those paws.
"Big" brother Luke naps as he watches over the little guy.
Dinner hour has gotten more complicated.
Here he makes his first journey outside.
Look at those paws.
Luke still maintains proprietary rights to making sure
the food tin is clean to his inspection standards.
THIS WILL LEAD TO GREENING
Almost a half an inch of rain over night, accompanied by thunder which most people noticed, though some of us
snored through it. We had a splash in October, but
now we may get a couple of rains in the next week and
ranchers, farmers and gardeners are ready.
It cleared as the Friday Lunch Flash Mob assembled
below the castle, joined today by nearby steers.
The post rain views were pristine.
The old William Randolph Hearst storage buildings
played in the sun as well.
See you down the trail.

Judy loves orange cats and she'll love this little six-toed wonder.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Isn't thunder somewhat unusual in CA? Love the new cat Hemingway and his big paws. We saw his cousins in Key West a few years ago too. John and I spent the entire month of October in California a couple of years ago....and enjoyed two of those weeks with you and Lana. We look forward to another visit with you folks "out west" in the near future. We have wonderful memories from that trip!
ReplyDeleteLove to you and Lana,
Deanna
Bruce-he is really a live wire. Come for a visit.
ReplyDeleteDeanna-Thunder is rare out here and it makes people nervous. Lighting
is not a good think without rain in California. October out here is, as you know, about as good as it gets anywhere. Come back.
