Each year at the new house I've had a "theme tree". First year was traditional, last year was The Diva Tree, this year was A Black & White Tree. Next year? A Very Sci-Fi Christmas. Can't wait!

Unfortunately, the clouds won. Another grey, snowy, late winter day.

Steuben was - is - my cat of 14 years. He disappeared on July 28, 2007. Just a few days after he vanished, my dog was attacked by a fisher cat. At least four other cats in our neighborhood have disappeared within the last month. Steubie was a helluva cat; more dog like than feline. He whupped the asses of many a fox, coyote, and dog that dared enter his territory. He was as gentle as a lamb with children. After his best friend, Homer (our previous dog), passed I didn't think he'd ever find another partner in crime. Luckily, Steubie accepted Macy quite quickly, and it was rare that they were out of one another's sight. I still hold out hope that he will return to me.
