only if you are down with the lolcatsevery once in awhile (ok, sometimes daily *cough cough*), I poke my head in over at the lolcat site
Can't help it. I'm addicted to the cute.
even cute food:
helps counteract the digestively challenging food compilations at this site:
(yet, many pics make me a little hungry..)
anyway, some lolcats make me laugh, some make me roll my eyes, and some make me squee a little inside:
awwwwh! sniff! come on, you feel a little mushy inside. ;)
Then this quick video is about 40 seconds of, "huh". Furry dude knows what he is doing. I'd let him pull up a chair at my table anyday.
yep, stopping myself there.

If I had a kitten looking at me like that from the sink, I seriously would be freaked out that I was drowning it or something. Yikes.

keeping busyWaking up to rain today reinforced my choice in working outside these past few days. Seeing rain in the forecast for the next few days or so made yesterday especially busy; but I got what I set out to accomplish, finished. yay!
-Yanked out dead plant stuff from pots and ground.
-Cleared out & stored remaining plant pots.
-Raked out beds of leaves and other mess I created.
-dragged branches, raked stuff and other decomposable debris out to rear 'yard-forest-unmanaged compost pile' area.
-Washed windows (outside only)
In the process: left side getting clean, right side not yet washed
not great, but much better than what it was, yes?
-Washed outside car windows while I was at it.
-Swept porch and wiped down outdoor furniture. One chair & small table with ashtray stays set up for smokers, although 100% family and 90% of friends don't smoke, thankfully.
-Daily long walk while sun was shining strong. Made sure to sit in the rays for a few minutes as we might not see it again for a few days or more.
Sitting on boat dock, lower Niagara River. (emptying into Lake Ontario straight ahead)
The sun was so bright! my eyes!my eyes!
After work stuff and play time, I have indoor projects to finish and/or start (still need to do the window plastic). I need to keep busy as the early darkness just kicks my ass, so as unexciting as all this sounds (I enjoy it on some level), it is really about keeping busy.
One last thing, as it can be generalized across the region--
The farmers markets in my area are pretty much ready to close by weeks end. Some have gone through to Thanksgiving, but this year the closings are a little earlier. So get out while you can!
I intend to hit up a few between today and tomorrow to gather up a few more apples, squash and whatever else that might look good. I love love love buttercup squash and end of season prices are a great time to stock up. I aim to cook up and freeze a few containers worth, also work some into a soup/stew/chili etc. MMMMM squash!

I miss fall. At least I have lots of left over hot apple cider to let me pretend it's crisp outside. Send some cold air this way huh?

I am so jealous of 2 things in your post:
a) Where in the world do you live - why don't *I* have a boardwalk next to the lake that I can sit on sunny days????!
b) Wish I could wash the outside of my windows like you did - but I can't without risking life and limb - mostly life, because I am sure a fall from the 5th floor could be fatal.

for the peterazziLooking at (e:metalpeter)'s recent post, (e:metalpeter,50334) reminded me that I had told Peter that I have a picture of him from the reception (candy table!) that I have been meaning to post. Oops!
I remember saying that as someone usually behind the camera you usually aren't in front of it. Which prompted me to take this picture.
of the few pictures I had immediately resized, this is one of them.
The other was already posted (e:theecarey,50210)
I have a few more that I hope to get to soon.

Thanks For posting that, I forgot about that. That candy table was such a cool idea.

true story!
true story!
oh yes I guess they sure did. Your pics prompted me to check out the story on it.
:::link:::
It snowed in El Paso, Texas today. :::link::: :::link:::
It looks ugly and I had oozy, squelchy feet the whole of the journal club hour this morning.
it's mostly melted by now and not so pretty. i wish i could have seen it actually snow, but it had stopped by the time I woke up. no worries though, I am sure there is plenty more where that came from!
