I put out some tuna for Jellico but he seems to be saying, "Really for me?"
The penultimate storm knocked down one of the cherry trees. I'm grateful it fell away from the house.
There are lots of similar trees which threaten my little hovel all on the neighbor's property.
The bluebirds are in their house in the front yard again. This male doesn't eat at the feeder. He uses the perch to wait for bugs to pass by.

I apologize to Bishop Airedale for whom I have no photo.
To my way of thinking, the Archbishop of Canterbury has abandoned Anglicanism and, perhaps, the Gospel. By reducing The Episcopal Church to "consultant" status because we choose to follow Jesus's teaching to love all and leave judgment to Godde, Rowan Williams has assumed the position of Anglican pope and abandoned the historical big tent. (Americans, at least, know what "assume" means.)

PuddyTat is sick.
Lady is hungry.
LittleOne looks up at Tom.
Tim, Tom and PuddyTat trying to decide where to go.
Meanwhile Jellico looks on from a distance as usual.
Invite everyone to the eucharist. Those who come and share are Anglicans in communion. Those who don't or won't are something else. That should settle the property disagreements too.
This is the first time this poinsettia has bloomed for me. Like the plant with the new leaf below, I brought it home after Mom's funeral. It didn't have much outdoor light so I turned the pot around awhile back. It gets only the light from the door now so it follows a natural schedule.
The are getting too comfortable. They were fewer than 6 feet from me. The last was much closer.

while LittleOne and Dudie are waiting for special treats thru the kitchen window.
PuddyTat came early but ate and ran. She doesn't like the idea that Dude is on the cathouse roof again. Jellico wouldn't stay still for his photo. Tim isn't up yet. Tommie hasn't been around for a couple of days.
Unfortunately I didn't get any non-blurry photos of Lois. She kept moving. The rest of the photos are here.
The little upper leaf is actually greener than the photo shows. This plant has had only the stem and the leaf on the left for several years. Suddenly the new leaf appeared a few weeks ago. I think I brought this home when Mom died and that's all there was to it. I water it every once in awhile and now - a new leaf. There is always hope.
Then the doyenne Tzaki.
1. Stoned Soul Picnic - 5th Dimension
This outfit bought out my bottled gas supplier years ago. I haven't used much propane lately because my oven died a year ago. Today I received a bill for $60.60 apparently for not using their gas fast enough. There is a tank rent fee for 10.60 for a year and a No Usage Fee 1.00 ea of $50. I'm using the gas - just not fast enough for them. Needless to say I called and told them to pick up the tanks. That is insane. I wouldn't mind the tank rental fee but the 50 is ridiculous. AND they will not compensate me for the gas remaining in the tanks. This is not an outfit I care to do business with and neither should you. They said it will take two weeks for them to pick up the tanks. I'll bet they are here today or tomorrow. Fortunately it is easy to change suppliers and I've been contemplating that anyhow. But the toaster oven and the nuker will suffice until that is arranged.
Meanwhile LittleOne watches while Tommie and Tim eat.

Please keep Eileen (Eak) in your prayers today. She will undergo surgery to remove her thyroid and the cancer around it sometime after noon EDT. The major concern is whether the cancer has spread. Her support team is in place, thank Godde.
