Change of Season
Autumn Beautsy Near Wooster Ohio
I laid out on my lounger and watched the dawn break this morning. The Lanai faces west so its not a sunrise but its the glowing light of a new day so soft it wraps you up and you dont even realize it until you say "Yikes, its braod daylight out here and I am in my nightgown...
It was lovely and got even better, with bright blue skies 80 degrees and no humidity. The leaves are turning vigorusly red and golden and the wind was stripping them off the trees at a furious pace. I love the change of seasons It is just and amazing spectical.
The leaves disturb the cats as they watch the chipmunks and the squriells run about. They are not sure that trees are friendly...friendy fire...barrage of leaves. Attacking the screen. And the acorns are like little bullets banging on the roof. Im just glad its not something bigger like apples!
There are "pushout" indentations in the lanai screens so we had a talk with the kitties. We reassured them that they are good kitties and cant help it as the little scampering furry creatures are so cute and enticing, but outside is so dangerous. We have seen foxes and a pair of red tail hawks circling...and... we warned them that the furry things that they want so badlly would surprise them and not be like the fuzzy toys the attack. I made up a silly song about it
Please dont catch, the little chipmonk
If you do, you'll be surprised...
They arent like your catnip mousies
When ya catchem, they'll scratch and bite...
I dont think they believe me.
I didnt scratch and bite the Major Doctor today when I went to have my final checkup. Over the week end the hole closed up and looks very good. Very very thankful that all is well with my neck wound, and we are moving forward.
Woody had a job interview and that went well. He is having another one this week and its only monday. I havent looked at my phone but its not rung so I need to make a few calls at the end of the week. But I am glad that Woody is going to get out of the house it looks like we need a bit of money comming in soon.
In the mean time there will be more fairs this week end but we are getting into the act with a neighborhood yard sale this week end so I am getting on the ball to ger a bunch of stuff ready for the sale. Get rid of what we arent using...
Woody is watching baseball. Our Angels went down flaming, so Im not sure that he cares who goes and takes the Series.
It only means that most dreaded of seasons is just around the corner...and its not winter... its basketball season
