First Cosmos

The first of my wild flowers. This year there's going to be lots of cosmos. There's going to be lots of everything once everything is in flower.

Jasper went missing late yesterday and overnight. I found him early this morning scared and sheltering in bushes at the local park.

He was on the fence and got a huge fright. An unusual cat noise from next door made me jump and sent him into orbit.

He's subdued, jumpy, and I suspect sore (I heard him hit the fence as he zoomed out of the property). He'll come right in a day or 2. For now he's lost his strut.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing that I wasn't oit tramping today.

Today's gratitude: For getting the vege garden mulched.
