You (almost) light up my life

As a thank you gift for his recent visit, Tim Dodd sent us a neon flamingo which arrived via UPS this afternoon.

Unfortunately, although still in the original packing and apparently well padded with foam, the neon tube itself was broken in half, and so we are deprived of the opportunity to amaze the cats.

At any rate, it was a very appropriate gift for this place. The flamingo flock, meanwhile, has migrated to the back and now appears to be emerging from the woods and coming towards the house. I'll let you know how Chris and Linda react.

They just called to let us know that they are about two hours away, by an optimistic estimate. We will eat our stew with them a bit later than expected.
