So I realized there were 2 left. They were very frightened and cold. They were coming around to eat now and then. I tried to lure them inside over the course of a few warm days. Nope.
I named this one Sol (stice). The day I got closer. Fell in love.
Then, gone. For so many cold days.
Noon Today. Just one. Sol. Shivering. With serious chill and snow looming, I set my mind to it.
Almost all day with the door open. We are cold but now he( she?) is inside in one of the colder rooms but still in a warmer place. So thin and frightened, but home. Hiding out in a dusty corner behind a big planter. Sol. I thought , but all alone, Solo? Then, no, Soul-o. Yes.
I'll keep searching for the other one.
