Happy Halloween (people scary day)

Mrrrrr Friends,


Except for the cat costumes - some of you can get away with this, others, well...not so much - this whole sugary, scary costume day doesn't make a lot of sense to a cat. Now, if you were going door to door for the equivalent of a nice kibble: a tagine, nice lamb stew, a good Barolo, heck, even pizza, I think we'd understand.

We used to have kids come by when we lived at the little house. But not here. What's up? Do you think the Adirondack mountain kids are smarter than other kids? Do you think they are staying home, instead of going out at night in rain, snow, and 30 human degree temps? Perhaps spending their time, instead, lobbying for chicken stew, a plate of steamy beets (cats love the small of beets), and a nice Barolo?

I got a bath today. That was scary for Alex. Me, I'm into a nice warm bath, a towel off, then apres bath in front of the stove fire with Boo.

We're staying home, drinking a little Bordeaux, and looking forward to some steaks from Essex Farm! Oh, and there is pumpkin pone for dessert...hopefully with a dollop of cream to share with the cat.

A Different Pace

Mrrrrr Friends,

This cat is simply working at a different pace these days.

As the weather has changed, bringing brisk temperatures, blowing winds with fluttering crispy leaves, and snow flurries, I've shifted into a more active outdoor lifestyle - still and always accompanied by my person. Tree scaling, bird roundups - I just hang with them, I don't hurt them, and leaf madness are high on my list. I've also laid quite a foundation of golden nuggets in Aunt Becky's yard.

But blogging hasn't been high on my list. Sorry. I did today play with the pretty new colors...so we have a change up in look.

I've been thinking about getting a Facebook page...

Okay? I'm still here. And my coat is nice and thick and furry so I'll get Oom to take a picture in the next few days. This is from a month or so ago when the leaves were just getting  crunchy-rustly.


I hope you are enjoying the falling leaves season.
