Monday

Barrie is home, and it is scary.  She has a pile of things outside her bedroom door, and I can hear a vacuum running in the basement. She must be in her hurricane mode again.  I don't even want to look at what is in the pile, as it's probably mostly mine.  I'll never miss it.

We have a "new" cat hanging around.  It was on the front porch with Chloe yesterday, and ran as soon as I opened the door to feed Chloe.  It's black, or dark gray, with a white bib.  It's got yellow eyes, and very long hair.  It looks like part of its tail is missing.  It was back again this morning on the front porch.  It's very wild,

I finished the colored pencil drawing of Kat yesterday, and I think I like it.  I'll pick a mat for it today.

There were four deer in the front yard yesterday.  We have left the front gate open for them. The grass and tree leaves on the ground must be cured just right.  I notice every winter about this same time, the deer congregate in the big stand of quakies at the place next to me. 

 

 

 

It's back!  Kasey got this plastic spider at Halloween, and Kat loves to steal it, bring it upstairs, and play with it.  I haven't seen it for quite a while.  I'm not a big fan of spiders, and it always gives me a start to look down and see it on the floor.
