Cub and a Lone Yellow Crocus

Okay, there were a few other nice things in the yard this morning, too. I was accomplanied on my garden tour by two cats (we call them Tiger and Cub - a mother and daughter). I'm still so thankful that Cub is back after her surgery, and that her absence is now explained after those long weeks of wistful mystery. She is the softest, friendliest cat. I had given her up for lost, quoting Job - The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord...and then he gave her back to us again. Wow. Kind of like in Job, except the same cat, not another one... even better.

These two photos are both Cub.

And I dedicate this bold, yellow crocus to my mother, whose favorite color is yellow.
