A Life Through Time

Rainy days are for crossing off chores and catching up on blogging

I woke up to rain on the carport roof.
I love hearing rain pattering down.

It was 6:30 a.m., rather early, but I didn't see any need to keep lying in bed.
I woke up, went to the living room, and tried to clean up more of the blog posts.

I took the scenic route... mostly by accident

Today was a hair-raising adventure.

I found out neither Cowboy nor Badger does very well when things go wrong.

Heron headed to his girlfriend's house until sometime next week.
That's an important thing to remember for later.

Pumpkin spice and everything nice, it's October!

Hello October, and here come those dark, cold, gloomy months.

This was the first town day of a new month.

September Ended, Bringing Autumn’s Darker, Chillier Days

How are we already to the last three months of the year?
Here we are already to October and in two shakes of a lamb’s tail we'll be to January.
This year has flown by.

Same hours, same view, same old routine

I want to write every day to stay in the habit of writing.
But the truth is, some days it's a stretch to find anything to actually write about.

Whether we meant to or not, the days have a certain rhythm, a certain routine that we rarely deviate from.
We're creatures of habit, I think.

The neighbors just watched me curse, swat the air, and sprint away from my own carport. 10/10 performance.

Poor Cowboy woke up early.
For once, I was deep asleep and didn't even know he'd gotten up.

My inner alarm clock woke me soon after he got up, and I went into the living room.
Cowboy was still in the shower.
