As usual, the dog awakened me at dawn and I crawled out of bed to feed her. When I opened the door with catfood, Mama Violet was waiting impatiently at one end of the porch and Monty and the silver tabby at the other end. Perhaps the chilly weather, or someone else has gone out of town for the weekend. All started eating, but after I came back with the water bowls cleaned and refilled, Mom thought twice about competing with Monty for the wet food and stalked away. When I awoke again at the crack of noon, almost all the food had been eaten; I have no doubt she ate most of the kibble. And the AP had called two more states and Biden had declared victory. Monty appeared again and I supplied more food. The dog is still asleep.

I disturbed a couple of lady robins to take this photo; I hope they resumed eating after I left.
