appearance through an opening in the clouds.
November
4, 2008 ~ Tuesday...what a difference a day makes...sun and much
warmer!
While at
the Budget Box this afternoon, browsing around we came
upon a new addition to the shop....a cage from Safe Haven
Humane Society...and there I fell in love with Violet...
a Ragamuffin cat..so sweet...our house is full and I wish we
had
room for one more but realistically I know we don't.
She was sharing the cage with Jackson, another friendly cat
in need of a wonderful home.
November

November
8, 2008 ~ Saturday...foggy with rain in the evening
A beautiful
little pumpkin was sitting on a log around the corner
at Gooch's Beach in the fog!
In the distance, I saw a father and daughter walking along the
jetty in the misty fog.
The little red squirrel
could be seen in her sheltered spot eating
sumflower seeds...almost like eating pistacio nuts, once you
start
it's hard to stop! You can see the little pile of shells.

I seem to

run down the street at the top of the hill
