Since I missed posting a Thursday 13 last week, I’m doing a list post today.
We’ll start with a picture of Caroline tucked into bed. The cats tend to get a little more cuddly
when it starts to cool down.
We’re supposed to have warmer weather for the first part of
this week, but we’ve had a few days that have felt very much like fall. It’s the perfect weather for reading in the
hammock.
We had perfect weather and beautiful blue skies over the
weekend, so we went and walked at a park that’s just far enough from home that
we usually only go on the weekends. It
was so nice to spend time outside and enjoy the perfect weather.
We had some work done on the HVAC system. Fortunately, it was minor. Yay!
We’ve used the same company for years, and we had the same technician
who came out last year when so many things got zapped with lighting. He loved Duke and spent some time petting him
and even rigged up a temporary cooling solution so Duke wouldn’t get too hot. He remembered Duke and asked where his
three-legged buddy was when he came in the house. In some ways, it was really sad to explain
that Duke had died. But, it was also
really sweet that someone who met Duke over a year ago still remembered him and
asked about him. It was a reminder of
just how many people that Duke made happy.
Two of my coworkers had birthdays this month. I usually decorate people’s offices for their
birthdays. My boss was one of the
birthday people, and he likes to tease me about my pink office, so I opted to
decorate his office with a lot of pink.
I’ve still been giving the neighbors’ chickens snacks. The free-range chickens followed me back and
forth while I was carrying in groceries and waited outside the door in between
trips to the car.
I gave the chickens leftover breadsticks one day, which they
loved. The next day, I gave them rice
cakes, which they’ve happily eaten before.
Apparently, though, they thought the breadsticks would/should become a
regular thing because they were very unenthusiastic about the rice cakes the
day after the breadsticks. They’ve
since resigned themselves to not getting breadsticks every day and are back to
eating whatever I give them.
I’ll leave you with this picture of Howard and Frankie cuddled
up together. They’re so precious.
What have you been up to lately?
