OK, enough playing with the kitty.
While I was sketching her, and the mist was coming down, I kept drifting off to stare out the window. So I thought I'd share the view, since it made me feel so happy.Sorry I couldn't get the hummingbird to hold still. That's crocosmia in the foreground, and cinquefoil. Some daisies that grow wild here, and a young birch tree. Clematis crawling up the lattice, doggone stuff won't bloom!

Whew, these image uploads take a long time on dialup!
Been looking into more on Dunollie castle, and suddenly all sorts of relatives want to know what I've found out. Wow, haven't had this kind of family togetherness in, well, never! I have a cousin in Seattle who'se really into this sort of thing, and I've found out stuff even She didn't know! We've run into a big roadblock in that there's apparently no public census before 1841, so we've kinda hit a wall beyond Alexander MacDougall who emigrated in 1831- was apparently married in Achadadie, but even Google never heard of it so the records might be misspelled. Kinda fun getting to talk to relatives, though!

Oh, pretty kitty with sharp claws and teeth. Beautiful drawing.

I love the view out your window. It started me thinking of a couple of ways to have a similar view out our livingroom window. Oh, yeah, yet another project for Randy.

A view like that could easily distract me from whatever I was doing too Mary.
I'm afraid I haven't heard of Achadadie and can't find it on any of our maps. I'll ask around and if I come up with anything I'll be sure let you know.
