D.O.P.-T.

Pretty sunshine and a little bit warmer: I blóted in the backyard, then broke down most of the boxes from the garage to put out with the recycling. And extracted more than 25 toadstools from the front lawn. At dusk all three kittens were on the porch: me putting out fresh food was less scary than the teenagers across the street shooting hoops in the gutter.
