BC, our beautiful long-haired black feral cat, has moved back into the yard.  She left when her kitten died.  It  was so painful watching her call for him, looking for him.  She disappeared for quite some time, but now she is back, sitting on the bird seed ledge, scaring away the squirrels and birds. 

I don't know whether to be happy she is back or annoyed.

While she was gone, I did see Chance, another beloved but long-gone feral.  He looked well.  I still miss him and curse the day he was put outside.  But he seems to have moved on.  He just returned for a snack.

Anyway, BC has now hopped down gracefully and gone under the deck.  So the squirrels are back, two Blue Jays are feeding and a female Cardinal is eyeing the peanuts.

I am hoping the Sparrows will return.
