Hello. I've been on vacation for the last week. It was another quiet week: chores, errands, appointments, reading, walks in the park, and a visit or two.
Emily and Willow both had their yearly checkup. Both of them seem to be doing OK. Also, both of them may have gained a half pound as well. We are attributing it to the arrival of cooler weather. You need extra fluff to stay warm, right?
My sister came down for a visit on Thanksgiving. We went out for breakfast. Then we went shopping at an outlet mall. Well, my sister bought things and I tried to give her fashion advice! Then back to my place for a couple of tea lattes and scones. It was great to see her.
Willow liked to sleep near my toes when I was reading on the sofa. I'm still trying to get through the book, The Brontes, and while I do find it interesting, it also a huge book.
My favourite part of my time off has been slow mornings. I love not having to rush trying to get ready. I'm also thankful for a beautiful park that is within walking distance. Autumn was slow to start this year but it is now fully underway. The ginko tree is starting shimmer in gold. The squirrels are going crazy pants trying to gather up acorns and chestnuts.
This little red squirrel was very curious. He seemed faster than the grey and black squirrels we usually see around here.
Now, it is back to work soon. The time flew by and I'm already counting down the days until my next time off .
I hope everyone had a good week!
I will try to visit in the next couple of days.
