~Leaf Droppin~

The neighbors tree is changing and dropping its leaves really

fast, I know mine is a sugar maple out by the garage, and that

over there I cant see the leaves to see what it is..Perhaps an

oak..Every tree's fall color is different that's why its such a

spectacular season, as if all the trees are in a contest to see

who can be the most vibrant..There is a road up North in the

UP, US 2, the road between Crystal Falls and Iron Mountain

this time of year is spectacular..well any where up there is a

gorgeous time of year..but fall is wonderful.. The white birch

trees turn such a bright yellow, there is a road that goes

around Fortune Lake that is lined with white birch, when the

leaves fall the ground turns gold with the color of the leaves,

its just beautiful...
We had some little morning visitors to come and eat and drink

and take their morning swim.. These 3 little sparrows I think,

sat for the longest time and werent even afraid of me when I

came up to the window..I think they are getting used to us..
That poor fence just looks awful..needs painted...
Penny put bread crumbs and seed out on those walking stones that

go from the back door to the driveway, they had a good time out

there this morning..I sat and watched them while I had a cup of coffee.

I used to do that when I had my lanai..I would take my coffee outside

and drink it while I admired all my flowers, and saw how happy the

birds and animals were..eating and drinking and bathing in the birdbath.
I think this is the cutest photo..This little girl..I think, she is

all indignant as she just took a bath and was trying to fluff

up and Dry off..This look is as tho saying "WHAT are YOU

looking at! No Privacy!" :-)
She did get dried off and still sat there but she would not look

at us... I say she, but have NO idea if its a male or female..I

would imagine there is a difference in colorings for them just

like in the other birds..The males are ususally so vibrant,,like

the bright red male cardinal..the female is not NEAR as

pretty as him..
Now, look close, do you see him/her, it? its a blue jay!

I was taking the photos of the others and its really hard

to see with that window as to what is really out there..I

happened to glance up and there he was, I quick looked

at the camera and kept snapping.. He didn't stay long..I

have NO idea if this is the male or female..
My house in Indiana I had a massive oak tree just outside

the back door that had a blue jay nest with babies in it.. My

cats would go out there and stalk around the tree.. the bird

would come flying 90 miles an hour out of that tree and dive

bomb that cat ~!~ the bird actually hit the cat a few times,

trying to dissuade him from climbing that tree..it worked..old

skeeter wasn't stupid.. he just kept his same slow pace and

kept walking past... The bird did the dive bombing looked

just like that one so that may be a female..I guess I need a

bird book.. The tree is just beautiful.. I wish I could get out

in that yard and just sit and watch the trees and birds and

take photos..

I don't know yet if this is good news or not..But I read the

paper last nite and the ad for the cottage on the lake is back

in the paper.. I have sent an urgent email to Heidi and I am going

to call Denise the lady that owns the house and find out what

happened.. Then I will call coa Monday and set up a ride with

Curtis to take me out there just so I can see the outside of the

house.. The owners both work so they cant get there during the

day so Heidi said last time that she would come and get me

in the evening to go and look when I can get inside.. Wouldn't

that be wonderful? its 2 bedrooms and its on a beautiful lake..

I could have company and it would be so nice to be able to have

a nice dinner and invite the kids... I hope this will work out...Im

sure gonna try..

Well today was a nice quiet Saturday, just taking what photos

I could.. Robert came yesterday and cut the grass outside and

Penny did the inside, we are all snug as bugs in a rug.. Speaking

of bugs, I believe we have solved the bugginess of these 2 cats..

I hate bugs.. so do they.. They scratched so bad sometimes when

they were on the bed with me they woke me up the bed was

shaking so bad.. Time for some fries and gravy tonite..I worked

hard this week and Im gonna treat my self to my most very best

GORGEOUS WEEBLE food.. I did good this week.. I made it

through it..and Im still ready to go on and still smiling..so that says

alot..Im ready to roll to my waiting fries..MMM..Life is good..

"nitey nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks :-)

Always, Lois ****
