Autumn is in the Air

Well, it’s official…. Fall is here – summer is gone! Last night was wonderful sleeping all curled up in a ball between mom’s legs. Get your head out of the gutter and don’t be so disgusting… she is my mother and there is absolutely nothing “sexual” about this sleeping location. Humans make something sexual out of everything… what pitiful creatures. Anyhow, Dad, as usual, slept with just a sheet and thin blanket (as he is freakishly warm all the time). Mom, on the other hand, slept under three warm layers. This weekend she pulls out the heavy duty artillery… the comforter. I can’t wait.

I’ve decided not to be all bitter and resentful over Mom & Dad taking P with them to Jersey this weekend. I understand I’m a little more maintenance when it comes to travelling, not to mention my gramma’s husband is allergic to me. So, I couldn’t stay in their house… and I’ll be damned if I’m spending a night in the back of Dad’s the Blazer. No, I’ll be more comfortable, more content, here in my own home. And on the plus side, Aunt Jennifer will visit with me and I won’t have Parker’s intermittent barking outbursts to put up with throughout the day.

I’m starting to see a change in the bird species frequenting our yard. Living right by the salt marsh, I get to see so many varieties of birds I’ve only heard or read about. I’m going to go dust off my Bird Watching Guide so I can identify some of these new birds. I’ll also get out the cookbook… I wonder which will go best roasted served alongside some pumpkin risotto and roasted vegetables…
