We couldn't think of a name so he became KittyCat. I've never gotten to know any of our previous cats as well as him.

Calliope is a wonderful name. Has she been with you her whole life? I imagine she needs you now more than ever.

You're welcome for KC's essay. I am glad it touched you "in the very best way."
Thank you, brother, for walking along with us on his adventure. It's very gratifying to find out my photography has evoked emotion.

re: wagon axle — Your curiosity stirred mine. I'd not looked closely at it until now. I went right out and took some flash pictures, including this one —
removed the background to get this —

did a google images search and it looks to be an antique wagon wheel hub.

There were too many weeds on this photo —

to do a similar search, but I'm convinced you are correct that it is a wagon axle.

I'll invest some time in daylight to pull weeds and take more pictures.

Thank You,

GMcG
