By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool fall morning here in our little valley. I have got my coffee and I am sitting out on the front porch. The sun is shining and there is a little breeze blowing and now the leaves are really falling off the trees. I have got an old blanket and I am covered up and I have one of the cats sitting next to me and I have got her covered up too. The other cats had their breakfast and now are out in the yard chasing leaves. I will not be able to sit out here very much longer but I wanted to enjoy...
By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well here it is the middle of October and it is a beautiful cool morning here in our little valley. We have got a light breeze blowing and the leaves are falling off the trees. This sure is a pretty time of year, there are so many pretty fall colors. The cats are having a good morning, they have had their breakfast and are now chasing leaves and chasing each other. The squirrels are enjoying this morning also but they are not playing they are busy, there was three of them here in the front year, I guess...
By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a beautiful cold morning here in our little valley. It is 34 degrees and we did have some frost on the roofs. I am not sitting out on the front porch this morning and the cats have not got up yet for their breakfast. But the sun is shining across the front yard and the sky is blue and the trees have lots of fall colors to them, so it is a really pretty fall morning. I am sitting inside by the fireplace and I have got my cup of coffee, it is a quiet and peaceful morning. I did not build a fire...
By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, it was 42 degrees here this morning, it was too cold to sit out on the front porch, even the cats ate breakfast and then went back to their warm beds. But the sun is shining and overhead there is a beautiful blue sky. The cold is not bothering the squirrels because they are out early this morning gathering food, and the cold does not seem to bother the crows either because there are a lot of crows in the yard. I have got my coffee and I have got a...
By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool and quiet morning here in our little valley. Last night we had some loud thunder and some powerful lightning and we got a good rain. This morning it was still cloudy and a light rain is falling but the sun keeps trying to come out. The cats are quiet this morning and they have all settled down for their nap, they go and hide somewhere when it storms, they do not like the thunder so I guess they did not rest much last night. Over the last few days the leaves have really been falling off...
Well it is a nice cool morning here in our little valley, the temperature is 55 degrees and it is almost too cool to sit on the front porch but I have a blanket and a cup of good hot coffee and of course the cats are wanting to snuggle up next to me. I think the cats like this cool weather almost as much as I do. Fall is in the air this morning, but it is going to be a warm and dry week with the temperature forecasted up in the 90’s, but then they are calling for a cool down. The maple tree here in our backyard already has some pretty c...
Well it is another cool and cloudy morning here in our little valley, there is a light rain falling, it looks and feels like early fall. The cats are snuggled down here on the front porch taking their naps. I am enjoying my coffee and Bob is washing the breakfast dishes, he is getting better everyday, he was really sick there for a while, thank all of you for your help. The hummingbirds are still here in the yard, I do not know for sure when they normally leave going South for the winter. Bobby filled up their feeders again this week, he makes...

He is doing so much better. Thanks again for all your...
Well it is another beautiful morning here in our little valley. It is cool and very comfortable here on the front porch. The cats have had their breakfast and are now taking a nap. All the birds are busy and I have seen a few squirrels. There is a tree here in the yard that has a hole up in it and the squirrels are going up and down that old tree, they may be storing up their food for the winter. We were down at the creek and I saw a lot of nuts on the ground, so there is going to be plenty of food for the animals. We are just three months...
Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, a slow rain is falling and it thunders every once in a while, we need the rain. I have got my cup of coffee and a cat is curled up beside me on the front porch swing. A little breeze is blowing and it is almost chilly, I love it. With these little showers of rain and then later the bright sunshine, my rose bushes are blooming again. I will have to trim them all the way back before long. The hummingbird feeders are almost empty, Bobby will have to fill them up again. Earlier this year he got...

We have had some rain and now there is water in the creek. There is very little noise, I can hear a roaster crowing somewhere off in the distance and I heard a dog bark across the creek. This...

Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley, I have got my coffee and I am on the front porch swing. The cats are finished with breakfast and one of them has decided to sit in the swing with me, she is the one that was really sick but is now back to normal but just a little more spoiled. It is very quiet and still this morning. We had a good rain and we sure needed it. We walked down to the creek yesterday and there was not any water in the creek. We also noticed on some of the trees that the leaves are changing color and some...
Well it is a nice morning here in our little valley, I am on the front porch swing and I have got my coffee and I am enjoying this early morning weather, it is not too hot right now, it is just a comfortable and quiet morning. The cats are also enjoying it, later up in the day when it gets hot they always go and find themselves a cool place and so do I. I can not remember the weather being this hot and dry for this long, it seems we have had summer for a long time, but fall will soon be here and then winter, I guess when it is winter time I...
Well it is another quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley, a little breeze is blowing across the front porch and I have got my cup of coffee and I am sitting in the swing. The cats have finished their breakfast and are laying here stretched out on the porch, the one that was sick is now back to her normal self, she maybe a little more spoiled now but that is okay because Bob loves to spoil them. The apples on the old apple tree are almost gone, the squirrels are still gathering up as many as they can, I guess they are storing...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. I am on the front porch swing and a little breeze is blowing, but it is going to be another hot day.

We prayed for her and other folks prayed for her too, well she is much better and is almost back to normal. Bob keeps plenty of fresh water out for them, he babysat her when she was so sick. This has been a hot and humid summer, but this...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley and I am on the front porch swing. I have got my coffee and a little breeze is blowing but it is going to be another hot day.

Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley, I have got my coffee and I am sitting on the front porch swing. The sky is blue and there is a little breeze blowing, the birds are singing and the squirrels are helping themselves to the apples that have fallen on the ground. There are a lot of apples on the tree and just a few have fallen, they are almost ready to be picked. A momma deer and her little fawn have also been coming into the yard and they are keeping a close eye on the apple tree and waiting for the apples to ripen. The...
Well it is a beautiful and cool morning here in our little valley. It is 55 degrees and not a cloud in a beautiful sky. I have got my coffee and I am enjoying the swing on the front porch. It is cool enough that the cats have gone back to bed after they ate their breakfast. I am really enjoying these cool mornings because hot weather is on the way again. We have been hearing the old John Deere tractor early in the mornings and late in the day. Our neighbor has been cutting that hay while the sun shines. They brought us a big bag of squash and...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley, I have got my coffee and I am sitting on the front porch. It is a cool morning and of course the coffee always seems to taste better to me when it is a cool crisp morning. The cats have been fed and are just laying here enjoying the morning. The weather forecast is calling for hot weather all week so I got out a little early this morning and swept the front porch and watered my flowers. Most peoples gardens are doing really good, the apples on our old apple tree are getting bigger and...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. The sun is just coming up over the trees and is shining across the front porch. The cats have had their breakfast and are now giving themselves baths. I have got my coffee and I am sitting here in the front porch swing. I really love my front porch, especially on these nice cool and quiet mornings. From here it seems all is well with the world, but of course I know better, there is so much trouble everywhere. I find myself praying more than I ever have, praying for safety whenever we...
Well it was a very cool morning here in our little valley. It was 54 degrees, but the sun was so bright and everything was clean from the good rain that we had. The cats were ready for a bowl of good, warm milk. I put their food out for them first, but they sat down and looked at it and then looked at me like “Where’s the Milk?” They are not only spoiled, they are smart! I have my second cup of coffee and I think it is better than the first cup. It was a little too cool to sit on the front porch this morning, but after dinner I will be able...

Well we had a beautiful morning here in our little valley this morning. After the cats had their breakfast I took my coffee and went to the front porch swing, I don’t have time to sit on the porch very long but I sure do enjoy it, it was quiet and peaceful, the birds in the front yard were real busy, I think they are building their nest, they were picking up little twigs and quickly flying off, of course the birds were also helping themselves to the leftover cat food from where the cats ate their breakfast, you wouldn’t think birds would eat...
Well it is a cool spring morning here in our little valley, the sun is shining across the front porch but it was a little too cool to take my coffee and sit in the swing, but much warmer days are on the way. The cats were really hungry this morning and it was cool so they got a little bowl of warm milk with their breakfast, one of them was not here for breakfast so I went looking for her and the other cats came with me, we found her watching a squirrel up in a tree, we told her that breakfast was ready and she came running. Well it has been a...
