The devastating mudslide last week in Oso, Washington has made for heartbreaking news stories, but also stories that makes one proud of our communities pulling together. Yesterday we had a glimmer of good news when the number of missing persons was lowered to 30. The first responders and volunteer workers are doing an amazing job.

Hats off to the 530 community strength on display and know that the prayers of the world are supporting you. Aura Sun Arts submits this floral salute and has the flag at half staff, in appreciation of the towns of Arlington, Oso and Darrington.
Hello Mo fans!
Mo and Nims are doing well, they have slimmed down a bit. Miss Nimbus got outside one day when I was mowing the lawn. I saw her doing her business over by the brush pile, digging a little hole and burying the results. Here comes Mo to inspect her work, he scrapes a bit more dirt on top to help out. I had to stop and watch this and laugh. He sometimes does additional work in the indoor litter box as well.
Miss Nims has found a way to climb up on the wicker shelves in the kitchen. She loved climbing up here in the last kitchen we lived in, and has trained me to come over and pet her when she is up there.

She climbs up, flops on her side, gives me the look, the one that says “Here I am, come and pet me!” I come tickle her feet through the wicker and pet her, releasing clouds of white cat hair that shower down over the contents of the shelves. Life is messy!
Spring is in full bloom here; cherry trees, wallflowers, daffodils, hyacinths, tulips and trillium.

Soon it will be warm enough to try making some glass beads. The Glass Art Society will be holding a conference here in Seattle in early June.
