Every morning as I come into work I am greeted with the piteous cries of an apparently famished feline named Ghosty (named so because his abundant fur is as gray as a ghostly vapor tickling the glassy surface of the lake before the dew has ceased settling on the emerald blades of grass that borders its shores) who begs me to scoop a cup of food and pour it into her dish so that she might nourish her feeble frame and assuage her ravenous hunger. These mendicantive meows are repeated thrice a…

The strawberries like to hide beneath broad leafs and checking beneath often reveals some succulent red berry that has escaped my notice.
