Walking with Velvet

We continued our search for Celeste, Velvet's mother today. Nothing to report. I can't imagine there would be much left by now, with all the varmints around at night. Velvet was keeping close behind me, sometimes stepping on the back of my rubber clog and bumping her nose on the back of my calf. She wanted to stay close to her "mother figure." She nibbled on delectable plants here and there, and played on a rock wall probably dating to colonial times. What a delightful little playmate she is!
