Happy first day of Autumn

Happy first day of Autumn everyone!

By the calendar, anyway, it is the first day of Autumn, but the trees here are still full of green leaves and the grass is still growing . . . attempts to work outdoors proved overwhelmingly that in many ways (heat, humidity, mosquitoes) it's still the strong end of Summer! Back indoors a few cats opted to sleep on the cat tower in front of a sunny window. Others kindly agreed to close-up photographs: Remmy, Lucy, and the elusive Yannah.

Buddy the beagle, always eager to please, looked up from his nap to consider the camera.

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our  Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Good Morning!

Yum, yum - time for breakfast! And the sun is coming up, too! All of us - even the chickens - hope you are having a wonderful day.  

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The  sunlight in the tree  this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
