We just found out that there is a very nice stray kitty hanging out on Barre Avenue.  Beth Ward has been letting it in every night and said it appears to be a well-taken-care-of cat.  It is yellow, with no collar.  Beth will be leaving on Tuesday and is concerned about the cat being left on it's own.  If you are missing a cat of this description, swing by Barre Avenue and perhaps you will be able to reunite with your pet.  Beth has no phone available, so you cannot contact her.  The Ward cottage is the first one on Barre Ave., and while this may appear to be a stray, it could also belong to one of the nearby neighbors.  We hope it will be ok.  Cats have a way of making it on their own very well, at least until very cold weather.

Steve and Bev Allen just sent me a couple of pictures of a different sort of visitor they had at their camp at Meadow Lane.  They wrote:  "This young buck joined us for breakfast and maybe a boat ride at Joe's Pond this morning - oops, I guess not!"  

I guess he just wanted a cool drink and perhaps a dip to get away from such pests as black flies, but probably decided the cedar woods was safer and retreated back up the hill.  He looks like a healthy specimen. Thanks, Bev and Steve for sharing the photos.
