So, the picture I posted was a railroad track. Ack, I guess it was just too hard. Sorry about that! I will post another, ummm, easier one very soon. Thanks for trying, though!
Baby turns one this week!! I don't know his actual birthdate because he was an outside, abandoned kitty, so I gave him the birthdate of October 12. Happy Birthday, Baby!! He is quite the handsome kitty now. He is getting his winter coat in and is 13 pounds now! He is still as feisty as ever and doesn't like to be held or petted. He is quite cuddly when he is tired, though. He sits next to me all the time and is my constant shadow. He likes to talk to others all the time and is a chatterbox, too! There is never a dull moment with him! Hopefully I will have many happy years with him...
I haven't been writing too much about what is going on with me personally lately. I am hanging in there. I am still volunteering at a coffee shop at my local faith center twice a week and really enjoy it. I am also trying to keep busy even though my brain pressure is giving me alot of pain and making me feel really stupid. I have made so many blunders this week it is incredible. I just have to laugh at my mistakes. What else can I do? I forget whole conversations I have with people and am just feeling so ditsy. Perhaps I don't appear as daft as I am, but it seems apparent to me.
I can't wait for the leaves to change! This is my very favorite time of year! I wonder if the colors will be very brilliant? I heard that it had to do with how much rainfaill there was the previous season. Does anyone know if this is correct? We had a pretty dry Spring and Fall and our water tables are low so I am thinking that perhaps we will not have very pretty trees. I live in the mountains and the trees are usually just outstanding. I am looking forward to long drives in the mountains to see the foliage.
Well, I am off to shower and get ready to go volunteer. Have a good day! xox

Think you could be right about the rainfall affecting the autumn foliage colours. We have had a generally very dry season and our leaves are mostly turning from green to brown and crispy.

Baby's Birthday? Wow, is that a year already?!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Baby, look after your 'Mum' for us ;o)

Pleased to have found you Val, will be back :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Baby! Wishing and praying that things will be better soon for you Val. The leaves need enough rain during the season and then the stress of not much rain before turning color makes the resin flow and more colorful follage. I believe that is what was explained. Take care, mark
ReplyDeletehi, Val, thanks for reading my entry in AS I AM. I do have a current journal that I post often. It's listed at the beginning and end of that entry (I also had a hard time reading because of the background, and that was ALOT of info, so I certainly can understand how that contact stuff can get lost in the midst of everything else) but let me go ahead and give it to you here, k? Thanks again for reading the entry!!
