#TNR #Feralcats #cats. Yesterday we trapped the last of our neighborhood feral cat colony for neutering. Over 6 years 18 cats. As we were leaving two were sitting on the porch and when we got back they were waiting--he's home now and will be reunited tomorrow.

My favorite fruit tree is ornamenal as well as fruiting. Weeping Santa Rosa plum. It is sweeter than other plums because it has apricot in its genes. #plum #fruittrees #bloomscrolling
