Kittens
Naming these two took a lot less time than Tessa…

Kittens!
A litter of kittens was abandoned outside J’s work recently. Most of them were picked up by Animal Control or other people, but a couple have been running around, so we rescued them the other night.
This photo was taken when they were still in the “where is this weird place, it’s scary” hiding in the carrier phase. Yesterday and today they’ve really gotten comfortable with us, to the point that the girl (the browny/tortoiseshell one) will pretty much demand attention and petting the moment you show up.
No, we haven’t managed to name them yet. No hurry right now, whether or not they stay with us depends on how well they get along with Tessa. Still, I don’t even have any ideas for names this time.

That One
(Large)
Having spent the last few days at a professional development workshop for teachers, thoughts of fall and the return to school are inevitably on my mind. I never did get up all my favorite shots from fall walks in the local park, so here’s a couple more.

Whiskey & Water by Elizabeth Bear
Second book in Bear’s Promethean Age universe, in which magic does exist behind the world we know, and the Prometheans have been busy binding and hiding it, at war with Faerie. All stories are true, somewhere.
I liked this book. Matthew is a great focus character, and like other people, I love his friendship with Kit. Heck, Kit is a great character. I’m actually at a loss for what to say about this book besides “it was good.” The problem is, like Blood & Iron, this book didn’t stay in my head at all once it was done. I finished, and looked up and thought “That was really good. What happened?” After a reread I’m sure I’ll be able to nail it down better. In the meantime, read it! (Well, read Blood & Iron first. Although I think Whiskey & Water was a better book, in many ways.)
