~The Leaf Sucker Truck~

Theres the leaf sucker truck. That black hose is like a big

vacuum cleaner and sucks all the leaves into it then

into the back of the truck.. Doesn't take long.. I took

this yesterday and I noticed that truck was out on

the streets today as well.. The leaves are only just

now starting and Carls' yard, well doesn't look like

they spent one whole afternoon out there.. The

ground is covered again.. It looks like its snowing

leaves some times, but it is pretty...
The view out the west window is just wonderful

as you see.. This tree right here next to the house

is almost totally turned but not quite.. Its the same

kind of maple that was at the little house.. Its so

nice to see all the different colors and some like

the weeping willow and the pines stay green... The

willow will turn but not as fast as the others..
Across the street, the corner house, you see they

have pumpkins on the steps to the house.. I had to

smile when I saw how chewed up they were, then I

remembered the squirrels that live over in those

trees.. That day I saw them climbing all over their

front door, I was secretly kinda hoping someone

would open it, I wanted to see what the squirrels

would do .. :-) ok, AND whomever opened that door!
I think I am gonna have Penny get a pumpkin to put

out back by the birdbath.. I decided to keep it out

there this winter for the birds to have water. I

know it will freeze but Penny comes every other day

so it will be thawed sometimes too... I am anxious to

see who eats the pumpkin. I bet the Jays will too..
They sure like the corn on the cob.. Ive still not seen

the squirrels go after it... Maybe cuz of the Jays, they

can be mean...

The house I had in ELkhart, by the lake, I had a nest

of jays in the big tree by the back of the house.. My

cat Skeeter knew it and he stalked that tree daily hoping

to find them away from the nest.. One of the jays was

always on guard.. When they would see that cat, he was

a HUGE black one, they would dive bomb him.. till that

cat would scream! The claws of the jays could be seen

as they hit him ! What ever you call bird claws :-)

Ive seen other places where they have done the same

thing... I guess they don't like squirrels either.. :-)

Well its time to get something done for today, stop the

boys from fighting for one thing.. They fight over a

place to sit or lay .. mainly on the couch... or a sunny spot.

I'm kinda hungry and have some left over spaghetti from

yesterday.. I have to eat to take these thyroid.. Ive still

not noticed a change in my energy level.. sure wish it

would hurry up.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs some

more energy for sewing since its almost Christmas!!!! :-)

Not far! As fast as time is going.. just blink.. it will be

here :-) "I Shall Return" aint ya glad? ;-)


Y'all have a good one Now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****
