@msolga,
Heh-heh.... that was then, anf the blinds were shut. It's now sunrise, and Miss Molly is back indoors waiting for me in the kitchen along with Nekochan and Mitsu.. You see, the automatic coffee maker started off about the time she wanted outside-- it goes off with a shriek as the grinder starts according to program-- and by that time there was no sense in trying to finish my sleep. But, hey, she's well worth the trouble, being such a delightful member of the household.
