Leaves are falling......

The leaves have been falling like crazy. I went outside and swept them off the porch, ramp, steps, and sidewalk. They really need raking but when I looked up at the oak tree it still has many more leaves to fall. I am not fond of leaf raking so I prefer to do it only once. So I will wait until more have fallen. Then I will blow some and rake some, and over the hill they go. Perhaps between now and then a big gust of wind will come through and blow some of them across the road into the neighbors yard and they won't be my problem anymore. That is always a thought. It does happen. Sometimes the wind blows my way and I get lots of their leaves instead. It could go either way. Today was in the 70's. Very nice weather but will change in a day or so. Then more leaves will fall and it'll be cooler and I like raking them in cooler weather. Not 70 degree weather. Raking leaves is very physical and brings up a sweat, so best to do it on a cooler day.

A walk revealed this man trying to catch his dinner. I don't think you'd have much luck there. With all the driftwood in the water in that area I can see lots of getting the line tangled.

Here are two of my buddies. Chunkey Monkey, who is looking at me upside down. She is a sweet cat. Then Pup who is like my shadow. In this picture he is leaning against my knee. He can sit on his behind and beg for the longest time with the front paws just waving in the air together. So cute! Then if he has done something wrong and knows I'm mad at him he will come and sit on his behind and lean his paws on my knee and look at me with a sad pitiful expression. Then I just have to lean down and hug him and tell him how much I love him.
