In happy news: the Out On A Limb at Morris Arboretum in Pennsylvania is super fun.
There was a little girl guarding the bridge to the birds nest, and her mother scolded her about guarding the bridge. I was terribly relieved that she wasn't a troll asking for a toll. She led me inside and showed me around. Her mother said she needed to talk to her about talking to strangers. More people came onto the bridge. Little girl actually dragged the grandmother into the nest by the hand. Mom said she
really
needed to talk to her about talking to strangers. I told the little girl that I needed to leave and go find my mommy. She asked why. I said because my mommy missed me and didn't like me talking to strangers. She declared that I wasn't a stranger. Mom said that I really was. As I snuck past the grandparents, the little girl was screaming
"She's not a stranger!!!"
I fear for that girl's life.
OMG cat, why do you think it's a good idea to sit on my lap?? Aren't you hot?? I am not the one covered in fur here!
You are familiar, I presume, with the Get Out Of There Cat tumblr: [link]
It's replaced LOLspeak in our house. We walk around telling the cats constantly to get off of whatever they're on, and elaborate why they should get off of there (i.e., you are not mail, if we tried to put you in an envelope and send you to VISA you would be returned for insufficient postage but you don't care about the postal service you are a cat).
That is my new favorite tumblr! I have to resist from reposting all of the posts.

It's surprisingly hard to spontaneously address your cat in Get Out Of There Cat-speak. But we keep trying. Not that the cats care because they do not know about internet memes they are cats.
My neighbor's idea of a weak rum and Coke is strangely STRONG. Especially on an empty stomach.

That right there is perfect.
Sox, I got home (NJ) yesterday afternoon. But Philadelphia is delightfully only an hour and a half away. I think I could live in Chadds Ford and die happy from all the conveniently located arboreta and botanic gardens.

I can practically throw a rock at Chadds Ford from where I live.
