Even the Devils Believe

We are in the midst of packing up most of the stuff in our house (basically everything except furniture). We move temporarily to a friend's apartment on Monday and then up to DC next Saturday. It's nothing for Sue — she moved a great deal when she was a kid — but I am bummed to see our longest period in one dwelling broken. I'm not a big fan of moving, especially not twice in one summer.

One thing we're all going to miss is the shared courtyard in our apartment building. Tomato and Mahler will not be able to go outside anymore, and we'll miss out on all the other people and animals who shared that space with us. Here is a photo of Jack, one of the cats who lives on the second floor, balancing on his balcony:

You can see his sibling behind the screen in the window. (I'm not sure what his/her name is.) As for our cats, well, these are the kind of acrobatics they are capable of:

Now I'm back to packing. Have a great weekend, everyone!
