my guess is he lazed on the beach almost all day -- I catnapped a bit, then got two "fake 800 number" calls on my cell phone that woke me up, terrible headache when awakened from REM sleep -- took aspirin and went back to sleep -- so if he dipped late afternoon, I missed it
2/3 of the dirt-and-rock scar is now seeded with grass and wildflower seeds, covered with old sod (which doesn't like the full sun in the front yard, not with 90* temperatures) -- will be interesting to see if any of the remnants of grass in those sod pieces, actually rejuvenate themselves -- I'm soaking the plot with water very early in the morning so the sandy dirt underneath may hold some moisture to let the seeds germinate
one more day of raking rocks and dead grass, furrowing the dirt, spreading the seed, and transporting one more trunkload of sod pieces up to scatter them
DH brought Catcat a fish from the Oriental market -- I asked for DRIED whole tiny fish, I got one plump foot-long fresh fish -- Catcat was really excited, followed DH down to the fridge -- guess I need to get the cleaver out and chop pieces for him .. freeze them so I can dole them out little by little
