Ahoy

We have an abundance of eastern gray squirrels at the moment - mostly gathering nuts at the edge of the woods but some making occasional forays under the feeder.  This is a youngster and he hadn't seen me at this point.  Never mind that I was sitting in a large humanoid lump on the patio - squirrels aren't necessarily the smartest creatures on the planet.  To his credit, however, he took off the minute he realized I was there.

I did some more work in the garden this afternoon and hauled some of the "victims" to the edge of the woods where they will self-compost.  I am already envisioning my "new" garden next spring!

Had a really nice long FT chat with my parents this morning.  They are considering a trip out east which would be amazingly wonderful.  Fingers crossed.

Jax has been mostly good today although he has been caught counter-surfing twice.  We took him (and us) to Starbucks where we got beverages suitable for humans and he got a pup-cup which he handily devoured in about 10 seconds.  Now he is being a pain in the butt because we are doing some paperwork and he's bored.  So I'd best get to work entertaining him.  

Dark, plain and simple, today
