It's not a very pretty fall here because of the extremely dry conditions we have been experiencing for so very long. The pond along which Millie and I walk every day has always been a reliable place in which to find a good picture in every season, but, even it, came up lacking this fall. I did find a bit of color there, however, and using my iPhone mustered up a pleasing enough picture.

The barn kitties are growing up. It has been quite a challenge to tame these little wild critters, but, slowly and surely, I am getting it done. The Tabbies were first to allow me to touch them, and now love to be petted. Little Blackie was next, and has now stolen my heart. The Tuxedo cat is a wild one, but even he, is finally allowing me to pet him at the feed dish.
I still haven't definitely decided which kitties are girls and which are boys. I actually googled for information on how to determine the sex of a kitten. I found a good site with drawings. Step l: Lift tail. Ha Ha! I think I knew that much, but lifting Tux's tail hasn't happened yet. I have just about concluded that the tabbies are both girls and that the little black one is a boy. My guess is that the wild black and white kitty is a boy. When they are just a little older we will make appointments for them with our vet, then we'll know for sure.

The following quote has been going around on Facebook. It's so me that I just have to share it here.
"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right."
~Soren Kierkegaard
It has been 934 days since Millie and I last missed our walk over the hill. If I counted correctly we will hit the 1,000 mark on Jan. 2, 2025.
