Alayne and I were heading out of Lena's Barn after finishing afternoon chores the other day when I saw one of our barn cats, Spark, sitting on a fencepost and contemplating the beautiful scenery in front of her. At least that's what I'd like to think she was doing. Alayne thinks she was more likely scanning for mice for a quick snack. But I'm sticking with my meditative thesis.
Amazingly, Spark stayed on the fencepost long enough for me to sprint to the house and come back with the camera.
Spark was "presented" to us by Cinder, a blind cat we had taken in at the request of a shelter here in Montana. Neither the shelter nor we knew Cinder was pregnant when she arrived at the ranch, so when Cinder started looking like she had swallowed a balloon, we knew something was up!
While Cinder is happily living in the cat house, Spark spends her days wandering the ranch, going from barn to barn, hunting mice and being a brat with the other barn cats. But occasionally she likes to take a quiet moment to reflect on the state of the world.
