lined with sunshine

 Today was the kind of fall day that should go down on record as perfect.  Scattered rain, lots of sunshine, mountains blazing with changing leaves... gorgeous.

 I got home from a day full of fun just in time to enjoy my corner of the world lined with sunshine.

 My mouser.  

We've started a new game of catch and release.  Just now she brought me a tiny gray mouse.  Dropped it on a pile of fabric, looked over at me with a grin, then batted the scared little thing to get it to run.  She doesn't hurt it, she just brings it inside to play.  I whisked her into the bathroom, caught the mouse and put it back outside.  She is now playing a tireless game of cat and mouse.  Sans mouse.  {Is that mean?}

 Fall could go on for months for all I care.

charmed life

Dear Cat, I didn't tell you this but you came close to moving again.  Lucky for you, your kitty cat charm worked on me and you can stay.  You and I have a lot in common; we're laid back, outdoor loving girls and we both love a good neck rub pretty much any time we can get one.  Only I don't headbutt people when I don't get my way and I definitely don't wander around the house squeaking when I'm hungry or bored.

Thanks for watching the house, wrangling the grasshoppers, intimidating the other cats in the neighborhood, and giving that mouse in the garden the scare of its life.  Now if you could cook I think we'd have things just about perfect. 

your human,
