New Additions

It seems I have been absent, although not intentionally. 

I shall cheat you out of my my meandering musings by sharing photos of the new members of our family:

Tori, who has taken the longest to get settled, but who is also most likely to become the official sewing room cat, and has already commandeered the ironing board and the cutting table.

And her brother Sam, who is a sweet ball of love, as seen in one of his daily lap sessions.

I suppose as the kitties become more a part of the family and worm their way into the besotted affections of their mother there will be more kitty photos.

** I must edit this to add that after I wrote this all to brief post I turned around to find two kitties, side by side on a hand-knit cashmere sweater.  I was not worried for my sweater.  I was happy to see the cats, brother and sister who have been close all their lives, settling down after the snipping, hissing, and spitting that has been the bulk of their interactions in this their new home.  Unfortunately a photo is not forthcoming.  It is the way of cats that they interpret the view of Mom leaning down with a camera to mean, "come over here and let me pet you" rather than "stay there and let me take a cute photo".

Adieu good friends.
