So long, August

There's no hiding from it...

Fall is comin'
Sierra doesn't mind. She found it rather hot sitting on the porch this summer anyway.
And now, with constant companionship, she will sit and wait for the mailman and enjoy the Autumn breeze.
It's time to slow down and say 'so long' to August.  Although our August was very wet, we still had many beautiful, warm days and it will be hard to see it go. I took a walk to show you some of the signs of the fast approaching Fall in our little town.



Just me and the camera; no dog. Kane, at 14, is much too slow now on his walks and when we do walk together, it is all about him. He still enjoys his sniffing and rootin' around and I am so thankful for that.

I put together a big casserole of macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight. I was able to use up some of the beautiful tomatoes that my clients have been kindly leaving me at their homes when I arrive to care for their kitties.  I was very happy to accept their generous offer since my sad little plant gave me only 2 tomatoes this year.

I have a busy weekend of cat-sitting as many families are travelling on the last weekend of summer.
Next week, drop by for a look-see at all the gorgeous cats in my care.

Happy weekend!
Deb

  4. Home grown tomatoes! Is there anything from the garden more wonderful? I'm so jealous!
    We're happy Sierra can wait for her beloved post man ( and even happier
    that she has someone with her).

  5. In South Africa we had a dry and COLD August. Back in East Africa, our wet season and spring is about to start. Love the photo of Sierra. You do so much good by caring for all the cats, Deb. Blessings and purrs. Jo

  8. Sierra's beautiful in the sun!

    It's that time of year when it might be warm in the mid day, but you feel the chill in the evenings.

  9. I see kitty hiding behind the leaves on the step! Oh, the sunshine and touches of fall are lovely. I love this time of year.
    Wishing you a very nice week.
    I'm on an extended break due to John's diabetes but I'm enjoying my visits with you.
