Had coffee on the stoop while I let Dixie the cat explore a small bit of the mysterious world on the other side of the apartment door this morning. She truly is the definition of a scaredy cat - bolting back into the depths of the apartment as soon as any noise is heard. Poor baby. But this is precisely why a cat harness and leash-type attachment are handy.
It is another beautiful spring day. More enjoyable once I'd determined that the birds who had been nesting in the eaves had indeed been successfully relocated to a makeshift artificial nest attached to the building as close to the now unusable hole they'd been using as possible. And the babies are safe from the very curious and upsetting (to the parents) large crow who created quite a fuss yesterday by sitting right on top of the new nesting place. Mom and Dad and a few others were giving him hell until he reluctantly left. But not until he was ready and had given his two cents' worth.
Overnight it occurred to me that now is the perfect time to test drive the second blog engine candidate, since the WP one isn't really live yet and since Steph's not going to Japan until July. The possibility exists that this one may be already equipped with an autologout strategy and can also be made to do all the fun things I was planning for her use. Now is the perfect window for a continued exploration, too, because she hasn't had to learn the WP interface, so no loss of her time would result. Worth a day or two to check it out. She's not reading this blog regularly I don't think, so may not even notice.
