I had my mental list of things I wanted to do this week, but now half-way through, I find I haven't done as much as I wanted. In the grand scheme of things, I just wanted to take a break I think, and so I have. I've been working on my next Christmas card design, but I'm hitting an artistic block. I've been to the gym a couple of times and spent a lot of time raking leaves. Three times this week in fact. My maple is a wicked tree, waiting for all the leaves to be raked up before dropping the next load when I go into the house.

One of the more rare events is my willingly allowing Murphy out of the house. He's been a house cat since he was a kitten and I think he finds the outdoors fascinating. He's never spent a great deal of time outdoors except for a three-hour stint when he snuck out while I was taking down Christmas decorations. In playing with the leaves, he discovered that they were
edible. Yeah, I can't wait to clean that up later.
I tried to give Maggie her turn in the leaves, but she wanted no part of the outdoors today.

Unfortunately there are no leaves here for Barnabas to play in...and he's too bad to be let outside.
