So what's been happening?
I spent two weeks watching a trench being dug under a downtown street. Some of the trench was dug using a giant vacuum that sucked up dirt and water. Found a few things. Downtown is mostly deserted still, although the courthouse was functioning.
Vacuum.
The first day I arrived and no one was there. An artificial foot was lying next to the bus stop. Strange.
Sometimes, after the varmints have left the bedroom, I open the French door so it can cool off. One morning after taking a shower something moved on the floor. A little toad was hopping around. So weird.

I caught it, put it a bowl, and took over to Mission Garden. I ran into one of the guys running the Garden and he said it was okay to release it there (it is a native species). There was an enormous Colorado River Toad hopping around and the new acequia has many little endangered fishes swimming around.

Lots of plants and trees doing what they like to do.

I got a 1930s or 1940s puzzle on Ebay.
Tuco Picture Puzzle.
Interesting to put together- the pieces do not interlock and move around easily, especially if Buddy Cat decides to walk over it.

Clyde Kitty comes inside twice a day for breakfast and supper. He is getting fat. He likes to play and I have to watch because his teeth are sharp.

I'm gathering things for a non-profit auction and went to Habitat Store and found a couple of paintings for a total of $15.
Ruby wants Clyde to play with her, Clyde puts up with her and if not afraid of her.
Clyde and Ruby.
Snowball hates Clyde, mostly. Buddy Cat ignore him.
On Labor Day Matt and I went down to Bisbee. Nice to walk around. We posed with our masks off but behaved, unlike most visitors, and wore them otherwise.

When he comes over, Ruby is all over him.
Ruby has a boyfriend.
I bought another 1930s-1940s puzzle at the antique store. It is made from wood. When I finished it last night I discovered one piece was missing.
