Good thinking. By mid June we'll move to our summer quarters below ground.

Looking forward to the picture.  I don't go below-ground, but this house is like below-ground in the summer, as it is still all the old plaster (insulates) and has 10 foot ceilings and 4 foot "crawl space" plus the huge attic, etc.  And we have ceiling fans in all the rooms.  It never got above 80 during the 100 degrees.  80 is still hot, but I'll get some misters for outside. 

Is that a stroller?

She stays in it when you walk?  I used to carry my cat, Minnie, in the basket on my banana seat bicycle when I was a kid.  She loved it.

she is tethered just in case but she isn't a bolter and she loves being up high and watching the world. the arboretum is her favorite place. They won't let her in the zoo---------- hahahaha. oops

My cat Cleo loved to walk on a harness.  I loved the looks we got as we strolled around the neighborhood.  When she got tired, she would ride on my shoulder.  There are some things you can do much easier with a cat than with a Lab! lol

Is that a Mary Cassat?

a poster from a DC cassatt exhibit, yes.  good eye you have there honey. 

I love her! I have a poster in my living room too - baby reaching for apple. My favorite.

I saw her exhibit at the Chicago Art Institute when it was here, and fell in love. I'd seen a few of her things before but not that many.
