No Photos Just Rain

~ ~ ~

It's a quiet morning.

No street noise.

Just the birds and cats

making the woods

sound like home.

I've been gone for a few days.

To the beach place.

I call it that but it's not the Ocean.

It's on an inlet.

Waves only roll in

if the wind is visiting.

Which it does a lot

over at that place.

It is nice though

in the Summer.

When it's a hot day

and no one came to

visit our small inlet.

Not in the Winter though.

Just a drippy windy place.

I'm glad to be back

in my mossy wet woods.

My cats are running

up and down the stairs

and around the kitchen

into the living room

and back up the stairs.

I guess it's what you

do on a messy wet Winter day

if you are a cat who lives

in the woods but

inside with your Mom.

Me,

I'm fine.

Figuring out what

I want to do

with the rest

of my old lady life.

That kind of stuff.

Also, the photo shop

has decided to laugh at me.

The main puter died.

Literally, went up in smoke.

Mr. Boatman has replaced

it with a new one.

Being a puter nerd,

he is replacing each part

just the way he wants.

Anyway, what I mean

is that I lost a lot of

the things I liked.

And, I mean a lot.

So, no photos.

No saved things.

Just rain

and birds that are wet

to look at.

And, a very wet Collie

just went up the stairs

and I know where she

is going.

My bed.

I need some of that yellow

stuff to show up.

Who doesn't though.

Then, we will all complain

that it's too hot.

Got to go

cats, dogs

It never stops over here.

Just the way I like it.

Wet Fall Day In The Woods

It is a wet yucky day in my woods.

Fall has arrived and it's moist.

Leaves all over the yard.

I even had to turn the heat on.

Just to warm the house up.

 

 

Meredith is near the vent.

She loves keeping warm.

 

 

Jodie Belle is wet.

She goes out each morning.

No matter what kind of weather.

Her furs curl up.

Collie's do that.

She's on her blanket on the chair looking out the window.

Not the kind of day you play in.

Maybe later, she and Maddy Jean

will go play in the wet dirt.

Oh, won't that be fun to clean up.

I greet them at the door with paper towels

to clean up those paws.

 Coffee in my cat cup.

Having lots of little cups.

Having trouble waking totally up.

Maybe it's just the dark wet day.

 

 

Fall .. again, I say, where did Summer go ?

Mondays With Meredith Ann

I haven't been outside in over a week.

Mom has been bribing me with juice from her tuna cans.

It's been working but a girl can only

drink so much tuna juice before she

starts yelling at the door

for an escape.

Help me ... make the rain and cold weather go away.

I want my sunshine back.

I want to sit on my back porch

and watch the leaves flutter in the slight wind.

I want to watch squirrels on the fence

and birds fly around.

Was it a dream ?

Mom you better buy a case of that tuna

it's going to be a long yucky wet Fall / Winter.

Fall In The Northwest

It's rainy

It's wet

It's yucky out

It's Fall in the Northwest

Meredith Ann and I are at the beach place

She loves it here

Lots of room to run and nap

Two of her favorite things

Really, she does like to run around the halls

Especially likes to sing in the bathroom

I think it's the echo effect

and that she likes to hear her own voice

Maddy Jean likes it here too

Running around the yard

Barking at the Seagulls

Jasmine decided to come with

Which means, I got her before she hid under the bed

She's been singing too

I'm going to spend a quiet weekend

Drinking tea

And, reading my book.

I leave one here just for that.

Saw one new dog on petfinder

that might fit in with our crazy home

It's out here by the beach area

I might call them

And, that is my update on this

very wet Friday
