Is there a boy in there?
If you look at the top toward the middle, you can see the dashboard cat, the kitten who got stuck in my car’s dash back in June. She came from one of the wild barncat mothers, and she’s still pretty timid around people and other animals. Hence her name, Killer, after a particular incident in which she hid from the other cats inside a Kleenex box. I still think we should have named her Dash…. The black cat to the right is one of two black boy kittens (from the same litter as Desdemona) that we gave away. Apparently they are made of rubber because they bounced back to us.
But the big pet news around here is the discovery this weekend that our Black Walnut puppy, Blue, is a….GIRL! Well, wouldn’t the vet have been entertained when I brought “him” in to be neutered!
:fryingpan:
The kids think we should call her Bluebell now. I’m partial to Blueberry Muffin Cake followed by lots of baby goo gah sounds because I’m so nutso over her.
All I know is I’m not apologizing for this picture anymore.

Official winter is still a month away, but I’m already missing our gorgeous fall color here. The leaves are nearly gone, revealing the bare branches that will soon be draped in snow, dripping with ice. The first ladybug has peeked into the farmhouse and the pipes are strategizing the most inconvenient dates to freeze. (They like to do that when company’s coming!) After a brief warm-up this week, the temperatures are dipping again. Winter is preparing to launch— And there are more than changes in the weather. I have some big changes coming up on my blog. Just exactly what….. I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. :eek: Stay tuned!!
Anyone going Christmas shopping this weekend? Or today, Black Friday? Not me! And you don’t have to, either, if you’d like to tuck away an autographed copy of my October release, A Hero’s Redemption, in somebody’s stocking! Let me know if you want to be in the running! Drawing Monday!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."
