Endings and New Beginnings

It's that time of year when long time colleagues sometimes decide it's their time to move on. The feral cats and I will miss one such person who has always "been there" for us. Her work with the cats was instrumental in showing that it was better to maintain a steady population at our work site instead of sending them all off to the pound. A fund to continue her work was created and named after her. It really is a good thing...a second best thing, I suppose, if adoptions can't be arranged. I knitted her a cotton scarf with cat motifs for a good bye present. I adapted it from the Peruvian Cat Lace Scarf pattern in Donna Druchunas' Kitty Knits book.
