Wet Wet Day


Aren't these the cutest darn things you've ever seen? Who can resist  a chubby hamster? Happily for my husband these sweeties were at the pet shop not my house, although I would love to see their funny little faces every day.







Probably the hamsters were so cute because my daughter and I had just come from the yoghurt shop an were high on yummy frozen yoghurt, and cheerful chatting.  I had a mix of different sorbets instead of the yoghurt I love tart flavors better.  




Just before I left to meet my daughter for the yoghurt it had rained terribly, as you can see the leaves had plugged that street drain and all the water had pooled up.  Farther up the road in a dip I felt like I had to cross the Mississippi river! I don't like crossing deep water in the road because of all the warnings they give you on the news, but I could see the road under all the water and went very slowly.  It was still really pretty in an after rain, fall day, kind of way. 
I guess fall in finally leaving us so leaving for Florida will not be quite so tragic with winter wind and snow on the close horizon.  Florida will be a switch for sure longer sunny days with the slant of the sun more sure and uplifting to the spirit.

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
