Life with cats, and other things…
0700/12th October 2021 It would have been a pretty sunrise this morning but the fog/mist still lingers, day after day. Soon, instead of dew it will be frost and the world will have a different look. The only problem I have with frost is that it makes manipulating the camera a bit awkward. As far … Continue reading Nature in charge
1820/8th October 2021 0707/9th October 2021 . Bang! Crash! Wallop! When a solid, 6'4 dude crashes to the floor, it makes quite a racket. Scared the life out of me. I had gone downstairs to see something on Grant's PC and as I exited the room, in front of him, Tinkerbell suddenly got underfoot. Evading … Continue reading Handling things
1755/8th October 2021 Having fed the little darlings last night, I gazed out the window while getting my own supper and asked "where are our dear deer?" Often we don't see them for days on end. But we always look for them. Grant had his back to the window and I was opposite as we … Continue reading Rodenticide
0915/7th October 2021 Lately, every day begins with mist, but yesterday the "Oracle" promised the gloom would finally lift. We had been anxious to do a preliminary Fall drive as the leaves are turning so quickly this year. The intention was to find a really rural route with good views. Needless to say, the routes … Continue reading Preliminary Fall
1742/6th October 2021 Time seems to be eluding me of late. Days are slipping by and I accomplish nothing. Except maybe take a few daft photographs. Like this next one that I think looks like a dog's face... Um, you have to tilt your head, perhaps... Maybe if I spent less time chasing dew drops... … Continue reading Peeved (again)
If you live with cats, you can expect to have your plans thwarted. When I got up this morning, I decided I would change my bed linen, so I threw the cover over temporarily, intending to strip the bed after breakfast. When I came back, there was Toby, all sprawled out. Turf him off? Never! … Continue reading Butter nut?
4th October 2021 Beads, Buddha and prayer flags adorn my mantel. Also two Thai temple rubbings, the one of the right done by my mother. On the left a Garuda...done by me, so long ago! Sophia never leaves the safety of the living room and soon I imagine she will move back from the sofa … Continue reading My happy hearth
0644/3rd October 2021 Glancing out the window at 6.45 this morning, I was compelled by the little silver speck to go and take it's picture: It was not cold this morning, so I decided to watch the developing spectacle. Most of the annoying nibblers are gone, so I strolled around on the newly mown grass, … Continue reading Whoops
October 1st 2021 When I downloaded this image, I immediately saw it as a pilgrim, on his knees, wearing a flat-topped hat, extending his arms with an offering on a tray, to his deity, Queen Bee, sitting on her rose-coloured pad, beneath a floral umbrella. Other pilgrims are queuing with their offerings. Perhaps I should … Continue reading Marigold
Early evening brought visitors to the lower field yesterday. It was hard to count, but there were at least 6. They looked up as I snapped their pics and then jumped the far wall to another property. The Farmer's Almanac says this is to be a long, cold Winter. It will be hard for them. … Continue reading Mr Green
