This is one of the neighborhood cats we aren't sure has a home or not. I just gave him catnip. He rolled around a lot and meowed. I caught a euphoric meow.

This is a picture of Fourth Avenue in Warren. A thunderhead passed by us earlier this afternoon. I borrowed an old bicycle with only one gear and took a three mile spin. Other than that, just a lazy day.

Our two feline visitors have returned. We are not sure if they are strays or not. We are going to keep an eye on them. It is irresponsible of them not to have collars. They could be injured or get lost. My cat Obie is happy at home and we always know where he is.

We went to Dunkirk yesterday afternoon after Robert went to the emergency room with heart attack symptoms. After five hours and extensive tests, we found out he has some acid reflux problems. We took a little trip to celebrate not having a more serious issue.

After yesterday's heat and humidity, it got quite cooler. All next week will be in the low 70's with nights in the 50's. Our humble 2.5 room apartment is cozy enough. We painted and found some bric a brac to decorate it from second-hand stores and yard sales. It isn't like our home in Niagara Falls, but it is our second home. Our garden is coming along nicely with the marigold border in the front. We left our cat Obie in Niagara Falls for a few days while we are here in Warren, but are going to go get him tonight. We cannot leave him alone, even though he has friends and family looking in on him. He is too much a part of us. We note the absence with sadness.

Just a lazy day on the porch on a breezy, cool day in Niagara Falls.

Just a lazy afternoon. I got out the hose and squirted off the porch to clean it to get ready for painting it. Today, it hit about 80 degrees with moderate humidity. It is just lovely! This is the view I have from the porch while relaxing on my wicker armchair.
