A favorite canyon country cultural site! Please #VisitWithRespect.
That large boulder on the left is balanced on a tiny base, but it probably won't tumble down into the canyon below for another thousand years or more. It is, however, a little sketchy feeling walking past it. This structure is ~800 years old.

It's been kind of a rough foster kitten season (for me), but these are the kittens currently in the house:
- The Bistro Huddy ringworm trio. They are doing great and just waiting for a second negative culture before going off for adoption.
- Zeph (who has a partial rectal prolapse that doesn't seem to bother her much) moved in with Dutch & Johnny on Saturday and they have been playing non-stop since then.
