Hanging Out

I have this weekend off and I can’t wait for it to start so I can hang out with those that I love.

Bottling Gewurztraminer

Our most recent wine making was a batch of Gewurztraminer.  It is a nice slightly sweet white wine that pairs well with spicy food.  Can’t wait for it to age so we can cook up some nice spicy Thai food to pair it with.

Lots of Legs

The night before last I walked in to the kitchen and this horror was waiting for me.  It’s a millipede, and I have no idea how it got in the house.  Look at all those legs!

Playing Cat and Mouse

We have had a few field mice making their way in to our house.  Not sure if their entry so early in the fall season is a harbinger of horrible winter weather to come, or we need to really reassess pest proofing the house…..or both.  Lilly has been on high alert but has met with little success.

Image

Lilly:  I know that stupid mouse ran under the night stand!

Image

Mouse:  Stupid cat will never find me under here!

ps…..I was not too happy that Lilly ran to our bedroom with the mouse in her mouth and then proceeded to let it go.  Glen lifted the night stand and the mouse took off and ran straight to Lilly.  Lilly then proceed to chase it under our bed before the mouse made its great escape to our closet.  Lilly sat outside our closet for a lllloooonnnngggg time waiting for the mouse to come back out and play.  It did, but she again was unable to catch it after it ran into the laundry room and escaped down a drain.

pps…..After reviewing the pictures, we really need to move furniture more often when we vacuum.

 

We all enjoy naps

The favorite pastime in this house is taking naps.  Nothing like snuggling up in a nice warm blanket and taking a snooze.

She Makes Room

If she fits….she snuggles in and snoozes.

Outside Bliss

The cooler weather makes the sunshine and soft breezes feel wonderful.

Only one

This fall has really been a beautiful one with all the trees changing colors.  Only one shrub in our front yard got into the swing of things.

Image

Sadly, it won’t be long before all the leaves are on the ground and the trees/shrubs are bare.  I love autumn…..not looking forward to winter.  :-\

I love it when my pets wink at me.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
