~Falling Leaves~

Look closely and tell me what you see... besides the neighbors

2 dogs.. I saw the yellow one loose today which surprised me

since that one is always tied and seems very aggressive when

ever someone even just walks down the street.. Luckily no one

was walking when he was loose.. the black one is a love..he seems

to be happy, always goes up to anyone that is over there or even

going by.. What I am asking you to notice are the LEAVES on the

ground by the mailbox.. The leaves are starting to drop ..with the

cool temps they will come down fast...
There is the tree by my garage as I look out the kitchen window.. I

have NO idea whos truck that is..:-).. but you can see the red already

starting..soon the whole tree will be just gloriously red and will glow

almost when the sun hits it.. I remember how beautiful it was last

year.. Soon I will have been in this house for one year already.. I

think it was the 23 or 24th that I moved in here...doesn't seem that

long already ..some times it feels like Ive been in here forever and

then other times I sit and look at the calendar and wonder just where

this year went.. I guess because even though I really don't go out I

stay busy and involved in stuff... which is really good.. You can not

ever go out and still be involved in the world and what is going on

around you.. sometimes I know TOO much :-)
LB was sitting on the table when I was trying to take that first photo..I

asked him nicely to move.. he sat there..I asked him again.."LittleBoy,

MOVE~!" when I raised my voice to him he very slowly raised his head

and was just glaring at me as you can see.. He HATES when I yell at

him..makes him very cross.. Look at that face.. I had to laugh when I

saw this.. I wish I could show it to him to see just how mean a look he

can give.. As sweet as his face is..you can sure tell when he is pissy..

Hes such a Garfield... :-) Rotten kids :-)
Penny came today and cleaned and went to the store and of course

she always puts bread out for the birds and squirrels..both the black

and the red ones were out there eating.. Last time they were by the

living room window, I don't think they knew there is some out there

too.. The boys were both sitting on that box and when the squirrel came

up to the bread ..well you see, they watch every move those guys made.
Look at the red on this tail of the black one..Hes so pretty...

The black squirrel had a big itme..he made a pig of himself ..

he would nibble and eat a few of those crumbs then right behind

him is my makeshift birdbath, he would run back to it and get

a drink..then run back to the crumbs again. He got up on the

fence once but I wasn't fast enough with the camera to get it..

Between these cats and the animals outside I stay busy just

snapping photos. :-) But I enjoy it.. gives me something to do..
I had a major surprise last nite well evening.. Chris phoned and

asked if he could come over for a while to talk to me..Of course

I said yes.. I have no hard feelings towards him even though he

was very rude.. When he got here, he came bearing gifts of a

wonderful bottle of wine.. we didn't drink it tho.. but we did talk..

He apologized for being so rude and mean the last time he was

here and told me he respects me alot..that I can do like I am ..

take care of myself..and what impresses him the most is that I

will stand up for myself and face what ever it is and wont let

anything intimidate me.. which I had to agree with him.. I will fight

for whats right and should be mine..and I wont back down.. I was

really impressed that Chris (landlord) took the time to come and

talk to me.. That was really nice of him and really for anyone to

go to a person that they have hurt and admit they were wrong..it

takes a lot and I respect him for that.. When he left he thanked me

for my hospitality in letting him come by..We had a nice long talk

and I think it helped to smooth things out.. I am pleased to know

that he does think so highly of me.. He had a really bad bad day

said some tennants had moved out and almost destroyed the

house.. I just don't understand how people can do that.. destroy

and ruin something that belongs to someone else and that they

are good enough to let you live in it... sorry people in my book...

Other than that and getting up 3 times last nite.. I cannot drink so

much during the evening.. I did sleep late today tho..till 8 am.. I

didn't know how to act! The boys were starving..theyre used to

Mom getting up by 5 at least and giving them breakfast.. We got

them this new friskies cat food..its in a smaller container but I

mean..these cats eat EVERY bit of it.. they lick the bowl clean.. I

feel bad sometimes thinking they may still be hungry..since that

dish is empty but they have 3 kinds of dry food out there so I know

they arent.. But this new stuff they really really like it..and its the

same price as the canned but not as much... but then the canned

they NEVER ate it all..I bet they would leave over half of it, so this

new stuff is better.. I am glad they eat all of it...

Lunch was a burger from Dairy Queen today and I havent had any

thing from there in a while.. I was impressed it was very good and

they had LIME ICEES...talk about good! excellent.. THEN I got

and I have saved it for this evening.. a caramel Sunday.. I love

caramels.. Its sitting in my freezer right now and I am going to go

out and get it.. The boy Donald will be here later and If I don't eat

it now..I know he would.. I do have a couple Dove chocolate bars..

no DOUBLE chocolate..and Donnie is a chocoholic... Was funny

today I asked him about their anniversary and what they had set

up to do for it.. Donnie says they are "going camping" well that's

good..but for an anniversary..well put me in a nice hotel room

with room service by a casino..now THATS a good anniversary..

My Carmel Sunday is callling and I need to get some things

together for Donnie to fix for me.. He said he would take the air

conditioner out of the window for me.. I wonder though if he puts

it in the basement will it smell? I sure don't want that.. So I may

wait.. Penny said the thing on the de humidifier said 90% so

it is still VERY damp down there.. That pail to catch the water

HAS to be emptied every day.. Tomorrow Heidi comes so may

be she will go down and empty it for me. Now its time for a Sunday

and time to say "nitey nite.."

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya.. and THANKS!!!

I sincerely appreciate that you read this..and those that leave me

notes to let me know that you do..well I really am very pleased

that you do and tell me .. Means a lot to me.. I am grateful..I

have many blessings..and dear friends are many of them..

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again.....
