Meijer Gardens,butterflies and some very sad news

I figured I better share some of my butterfly/flower pictures from out trip to Meijer Gardens last Friday. The weather was and continues to be lovely. Today it was 75 degrees and I opened all the windows when I got home from work and the Vet with Max.
The very sad news is that Max's cancer has returned and is now inoperable and his masses will just keep growing. The good thing is that he is not bothered by it so far. So now I have 2 cats who are living the end of their lives with me as long as they are happy. Max will be 12 on Friday and I am so sad.

Here is a picture of Max on my new comforter and bed set in my bedroom I changed all around.
still need to put stuff back in bookcase but otherwise it is all done. Now onto the mess that is the other bedroom.
