Monkey the Scholar
Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. ~Chinese proverb
I Monkey here.
Well, I finally pushed Mama to the end of her rope with my monkey-shenanigans, and she retaliated by signing me up for Puppy School.
Huh.
We got there early so I could check out the classroom.
Fall 2023 Wanes Beautifully
…I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, American novelist and short story writer
How I relate to Mr. Hawthorne’s thoughts!
It seems like Autumn arrived late here, perhaps because everybody was eager for it to chase away the heat, humidity, and drought; but when it finally came (and despite fears to the contrary), it was simply glorious. (“Was” being the operative word — as I post this, we’ve passed “peak” color and are fast headed to Winter).
But I’ve compiled a little slide show (a dozen photos) so you can see some of our Fall trees. Please enjoy!
