@farmerman,

All settled in. Addition completed and running smoothly. The Mr and I both gainfully employed. Still enjoying the solitude and wild life. Can't complain -- except for the excessive black fly bite itches!

@Tai Chi,

Black flies love me and the bites give me welts. Luckily, none around here, at least so far.

Good to see you..

Is this a pinting of a cat ON the screen door.

@farmerman,

Nope. That's Nellie all grown up and watching us out the kitchen window.

@farmerman,

I never thought of that, but that is a distinct possibility. LOL

@Tai Chi,

Thats a cool looking cat.Seeing it behind that screen gives me an idea for a series of "Baltimore Screen Door Paintings"

Ill see ifn I cant find one on the web that doesnt look too amateurish. There are a few good ones.

I saw one mny years ago nd it was a copy of an Alphonse Mucha "spghetti hired " qomn. It was neat.

@farmerman,

heres the only cat I could fin on a Baltimore screen door (theres a doupla qeb sites devoted to this folk art tradition)
Its sorta cute. The cats face looks a bit feral though. And I think I would hve denotd how far down the screen the cats claws would have destroyed the mesh

Some decades ago when my younger brother visited us, he ran into the back door screen. It still brings a smile. He's an ophthalmologist.

@farmerman,

Cool -- thanks. Nellie likes to sleep in the windowsill too -- and anchor herself with a claw hooked to the window screen unfortunately.

@cicerone imposter,

I practically walked through the patio door screen at a friend's recently -- in my defence I was not wearing my glasses.
