Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Is it autumn?

The next time I ___________, I will __________. complete the sentence.

The next time I walk the dog, I will have to take a longer walk. Yesterday, I was cleaning house. I only went outside once to put some seed in the bird feeder. I took my dog with me. We walked once around the house. That really almost can't be called a walk.

Summer birds have already flown south. Winter birds are starting to check the feeder once in awhile even though it is still summer weather during the day. Another frost last night. Not many leaves turning on the deciduous trees yet. Uncommonly cold for this time of year. I started the furnace yesterday for half a day, then again this morning. I don't really want to have to heat the house.yet. Don't want to be cold either. Chipmunks are trying to steal cat food off the balcony. Probably storing it for winter.

I heard an owl out back one day this week. The sound was quite far off probably in the woods or gully somewhere.

Stay warm and keep safe.
