    Well it is a very windy morning here in our little valley. It is not real cold yet but the wind makes it feel colder. The cats were here early to eat their breakfast and they did not like these winds, so they ate and left for their safe places. I think they know when bad weather is on the way. The weather lately has been up and down, one minute it is cold and cloudy and the next it is warmer and sunny. It is like it does not know what it wants to do, but we all know that Winter will be here in just a few days. Our house is decorated inside and...

    Well it was a very cold morning here in our little valley, it was 20 degrees, but the sun has come up and is warming things up. The cats did not get up early because it was so cold, but now that it has warmed up a little they are up and eating their breakfast. There are some clouds moving in, but I do not think it is going to rain or snow. Bob has got the dishes washed and the kitchen clean and he is enjoying his coffee. I hope all of you had a good Thanksgiving, we sure did. We are all blessed and have a lot to be thankful for. We had a lot...

This morning the cats were waiting for their bowl of warm milk and they have now snuggled back into their warm beds for their cat nap until the morning warms up just a little bit.

    Well it is a cool and cloudy Fall morning here in our little valley, but it sure looks and feels like an early Winter’s morning. Bob has finished washing the breakfast dishes and is now enjoying his cup of hot coffee. Coffee just seems to taste better on cool mornings like this. This morning the cats were ready for their breakfast and a bowl of warm milk. They ate in a hurry and now they have snuggled back into their warm beds. We have been real busy this week, we have been getting ready to put up Christmas trees. The first thing we always d...

    Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley. It is a little too cool to sit on the porch swing this morning. Even though it was cool the cats were up early for their breakfast, but now they have went back to their beds. It is a little early for the cats to start their day because they did not get much sleep last night. About 3 AM I heard a noise on the front porch and I got up to see what it was, and there was two small raccoons playing on the porch. The cats were out of their beds and wide awake, sitting there watching...

    Well it is a cold and frosty morning here in our little valley. We had just a little heat on this morning, but we have not built a fire in the old wood heating stove yet. It has been chilly in the mornings and we have had a few big frost, but as soon as the sun comes up it starts warming up. Soon the leaves will really change colors and start falling off the trees, right now they already getting some pretty colors to them. The cats are always extra hungry on these cold mornings. When it is cold out they get a little bowl of warm milk, they real...

Soon in the mornings we will be having big frosts, and all the tree leaves will change colors and then they will start falling off. The cats were up...

    Well it is a beautiful Fall morning here in our little valley. It is still warm enough this morning to sit out on the front porch, but it will not be many more days until it will be too cold outside and then we will be sitting near the old wood heating stove. We are still enjoying watching a few hummingbirds at their feeders, somebody told me they normally leave around the last of August but this year they are still here in October. I guess the weather has changed over the last few years. The cats were here early this morning for their...

    Well it is a cool and windy morning here in our little valley. We sure have been getting some good and much needed rain, there has not been no real heavy downpours but steady and slow rain. Even the creeks are starting to get water in them. With the rain, wind and cooler temperatures it sure has felt more and more like Fall. It was a little cool last night so I put the cats a small blanket out and they were snuggled down into it this morning. There were not as many hummingbirds at their feeders this morning, maybe it is because of the cooler...

I know there is a lot of trouble everywhere you look, but as I sit here on my front porch and watch the neighbor’s cows grazing peacefully and the humming birds enjoying their feeders and the cats enjoying the warm sunshine, I am so thankful and I know I am blessed. Fall is here and soon we will have real cooler weather. I think the humming birds are almost ready to leave, they seem to be eating as much as they can, they are getting ready for their long trip South. E...
