At home
The big event of the day was the rescue of a frog from Zinc and Faerie, inside the house. Lately, a frog has been croaking in my closet; we couldn’t find it! Now perhaps we have.
We were worried because Skooter did not come home for his late evening or sometimes midnight meal, after which he is always annoyed and frustrated to be kept indoors for the night. In fact, he did not return till about 1 PM. After tucking into a large luncheon, he demanded OUT and left again. As I write this on Saturday late afternoon, he has not returned. He does not like rain so we think he is leading a double life in another household, in the same way that he did with two households when he was three years old. (He is almost nine years old now.)
The other cats know nothing of life beyond the catios. But from the way they gaze upon the world through the wire, I think they would like to know more.
The rest of the bulbs arrived. I did the sorting, which took a small space of three card tables instead of card tables and a big piece of plywood on saw horses.
I missed having the wealth of different bulbs to pick from as it used to be when I planted many kinds in Long Beach. The compensation was that the sorting took three or four hours instead of two or three full days. And due to the supply chain problem that resulted in the bulbs arriving a month later than usual, I am glad to not have thousands to plant. I think we can get it all done in three days of work.
Oh, that Skooter! Still a lot of bulbs but way more manageable, I would guess.

P.S. Glad you found the frog.

The bulb situation looks to be a blessing in disguise as far as cutting your work down goes.
