While I’m trying to figger out the results of my blog poll, here’s a snapshot and inadvertent selfie. We went up the road and grabbed a shot of Juniper through the window. Yes, we are stalking a cat.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Someone seen through a window.

Stalking the neighbour’s cat! Oh, the humanity of it all!

September 15, 2019 at 8:36amYou’ve come to the right place, Ally, because I happen to know that “bated breath” comes from Shakespeare, and is one of his poetic twistings, shortening “abated breath” to suit his cadence. So bated breath is breath that is held back because of excitement.
