Cleo is home, the vet was pleased with her healing, not overly concerned with her "stroke", which he said it wasn't. He said it's probably Idiopathic vestibular disease, or she is starting to have seizures. Either way, as long as she's comfortable and seems "happy" we're to just keep doing what we've been doing. She gets a Galliprant before bed, which helps her sleep, no 1am restless pacing around the bed.

Debbie is not amused with Alice, one of our TNR "ferals". Alice is obviously aware of what she's doing, sitting directly in front of Debbie.

The boys, Zacchaeus and Silas, matriarch Rahab in front. She brooded six chicks this year, including Silas, Priscilla, and Esther.

Not everything we do works perfectly. Lettuce melted, but look at those peas! I’d call that successful.
From today:

One of the lettuce survived!

Most of the pea vines are okay, I even saw some blossoms.

The weather has turned mild for a few days, so I pulled off the covers. I will put them back before the cold hits, Friday night.

Just an FYI: my dh's dementia has suddenly progressed, leapfrogged to the next stage. We're coping, regrouping, trying to figure out how to handle the changes. If I'm not commenting much you'll know why.

Prayers for you and him... for you and your ability to cope with this next stage, and for him because it has got to be very very difficult when he has the cognizant moments, and then loses them. My heart goes out to you both.
