Pictures: of Ivan, alone and with some humans

Ken took several pictures over the last few days.

The first couple are of Ivan with our friend James. James and Mary came over for lunch and to pick mulberries from our tree--and, as it turned out, from many other mulberry trees in the "community area" that adjoins our backyard.

We had plenty to eat--I made my two Japanese specialties, soba with sweet walnut paste and cucumber maki rolls. Then we picked loooots of mulberries: James and Mary picked a gallon between them and I, with some help from James, Mary and Ken, got nearly half a gallon for us.

We also had a wonderful time talking and, of course, adoring Ivan. Ken picked him up to hold him so Mary could pet him--and Ivan reached out to her, so she took him in her arms. And he clearly liked James also, as you can tell from the pictures...

Other pictures are of me (with my new, slightly different haircut) petting Ivan, and of The Most Gorgeous Cat in the World on his own.
