I made a lemon angel food cake tonight :) Hopefully it tastes fine; it certainly smells good. While I'd originally planned to make a lemon tart, I realized when I got home that I didn't have heavy cream. I did however have 8 eggs, which is exactly what this recipe called for. Currently cooling on the kitchen counter, it is :)

There are raccoons or feral cats in the tree outside my apartment. Last year when I moved in, there was a bird nest. Now I know why Melody spends all her time leaning against the screen. Around 3AM or so this morning, I heard a bit of yowling outside and thought, "There goes Melody; I'll miss her." Except that glancing at the window, I could see her fluffy tail wagging. I fell back asleep.

About 4AM, more yowling. This time I couldn't see Melody so I staggered to the window and started to close it. These windows are noisy suckers and as I pulled on it (noting in relief that the screen was intact), two dark cat-like shapes ran screaming down the tree trunk, disappearing into the underbrush. A few seconds later, Melody and Mitten had an argument on the bed and I had to chastise them. At least they were both indoors.

Hopefully, whatever those things were outside find someplace else to hang out tonight. I'm tired.
