New addition to the family.

I really don't like Facebook. It feels like work to me, so blogging will have to be my way of keeping in touch. The downside, of course, is that for all of you who do use Facebook, I'm missing out on what you're up to, so keep in touch! I'll try to post regularly, and I'll keep the more personal, rambling stuff on Cornflower Blue.

For my first entry on our new family blog, I'll introduce you to the newest addition to our family. Lucy. She's a precious little kitty. She's tolerant of Gumbo chasing her into walls and poking her in the side with his nose. She lets Ainsley carry her around and close her up in her room where she can have her all to herself. She doesn't even get startled when Hawthorne is throwing make-shift baseballs (balled up sock, mushed up foil...) around the house and noisily diving for them. She cuddles with me and Carter while we watch TV in the evenings, and she actually sleeps at night. We thought everything about her was so very perfect until we discovered her "fault" last week. She likes to catch baby frogs and bring them in the house to play with. It's not pretty. Hawthorne and Carter have managed to save most of them, but a few have been dismembered and left to die. Ick! I'll be glad when the frogs go wherever they go for the winter.

Here's a picture of our little cutie. Stay tuned.
