Happy 4th to all who celebrate it and a Happy Friday to all!
This is being the prettiest 4th I can remember, thanks to Hurricane Arthur being good to my area and giving us breezes that have chased out the sweltering humidity of the past week.
I got out to the lake for a beautiful morning walk. Every couple of weeks there is a different assortment of wildflowers beginning to bloom in this spot.
A little skink peeking out from his bunker in a fallen log. He is around 50 yards from the spot where they are going to be setting off the town fireworks so I hope he will be safe, and I hope his bunker makes him feel safe during the booms.
Saki says, "Have a Happy 4th of July!"
I hope you all get to roll around in one of your favorite perches today, too, my dear flisties. <3

Give Saki a squeeze for me. She's stepping about smartly still, I hope. :)

Saki is doing well. We went to the vet this morning to get her blood draw to check her thyroid and renal values and get more meds. We're only doing it every 2 months now, instead of monthly because she has been so stable the past several months--it's a blessing. She did give me a fright in toppling her carrier out of the chair at the vet, while she was inside, while I was settling the bill, but I have so much padding in there she came through it fine. I just gave her your squeeze and she sends a lick and head rub back.

Yes, it's sad about my mom, Lavender, but her story is not unusual among people in my age group who have very elderly parents, parents who often have some sort of dementia. There are so many aging sons and daughters out there trying to care for beloved parents who have become to wary of them, not sure they even know them, or even filled with animosity towards them. I have to be grateful that my mom still knows us, and, however irritable or angry she gets, still seems to love us and wants us with her. Someone I know is struggling with trying to care for a mom who thinks evil strangers are lurking outside, trying to look in the windows, waiting to get in if the door is open. Last month it was evil children outside the door, she thought, beside herself. She's even had spells where she fears her daughter, a daughter she has always loved with great fondness. It's all dementia related, formerly the warmest person, very social and extroverted, now confused, stressed and fearful.
