Fall Marches On
The computer tells me the temps today were in the high 60s compared to yesterday when it was in the high 80s. I’ll take everyone’s word for it. I didn’t have an agenda for the outside today. I can keep quite busy in our little cabin here on Stauffer Avenue.
Yesterday was a bit of a stretch for both Dennis and me. We didn’t know how weary we actually were until after showering up and relaxing. Dennis slept until 9:30 this morning. My usual time is 8:00 and today was no exception. I did get up at 2:30 a.m. and take something for the weariness in the joints and bones that bucked enough for me not to settle in. Today, everything felt usual. The blessing is that we had very little wind today, thus there were no torrents of leaves coming down. That will give us both a break. Oak and Maple trees literally shower us with their bounty.
As I was doing laundry, I happened to look out the octagon window in the bathroom and watch our neighbor’s dog. Peaches is three years old and has a hard time with her hindquarters. Neighbor Bob has told us the vet says she has arthritis. I do pat myself on the back for keeping my mouth shut in visiting with Bob about it. My insides want to remark that kicking a puppy in the hindquarters with steel toe shoes for tearing up rolls of toilet paper may not have been the best choice of reprimanding a puppy. I confess . . . I did call the city police on him as it was a repeated situation. Come to find out, I was not the only person that responded when hearing the dog cry as she was being abused. Now . . . Bob feels so bad for her as he can’t see himself without her as she is such a loyal companion. Hello!
Dennis has been busy in the patio porch most of the afternoon. I like the fact that whatever he gets involved in, he does hit the rocking chair for a break intermittently.
Well, I had better get going in putting the bedding back in place if either one of us want the beds ready when we call it a day. It has been a great day.
