Yesterday was...chilly-wompers.... for sure.......

OK, the title...chilly-wompers.

I make up words. Don't know when I started that, but I think it may be a gene or something.

My daughter, Brandi, does it as well.

When we lived in San Francisco, she dubbed the people who commuted from Sausalito to the city while working on their laptops "trans-muters".

Sounds like some toy Jeff might have wanted when he was little...

Anyway, yesterday was chilly-wompers. Not quite cold, but more than chilly.

You know, chilly-wompers.

After fixing Randy's lunch, I looked for the pups - only to find Braxton all snuggled under the covers. Then there was Lulu...

Awwww...

Anyway, yesterday was one of those nearly perfect days...fall weather, snow on the mountains......

WHAT? SNOW? In September??

Yep. Snow. Lookie:

Pretty, huh?

And yes, those are the bulls we share our work area with.

Told you. Bulls.

Wild bulls.

OK, maybe not "wild"...but we do have a ferocious wild black panther....

OK, maybe not a panther. But a wild..................kitten.

We named her/him Salem.

Partly because we just released a new line of scrapbook paper named, yes, Salem... and then there's the teen-aged witch on TV whose black cat was named Salem..and it is close to Halloween...and....well, we thought it fit. Thanks, Layle!

What's that? You see feeding dishes?

OK, yes, it was me.

First, I saw him outside looking all skinny and sad.

Then I thought he needed something to eat. Looked in my desk drawer where you could normally find most anything you're looking for, but no kitten food.

Huh...I did have a Hormel Chicken & Potato & Gravy dinner......

Note to self: buy kitty food.....

After work, Heather and I went Gardner Village. Almost my favorite time of day (after all, I was at work..couldn't very well tell them I had to go to be there by 4 -my most favorite hour!)

Anyway, the sun was perfect, the decorations were great (witches all over the place - some playing baseball, some in boats!)

So here we are...Heather and me...not witches, silly!

And here's some witches for your viewing pleasure...

Hope you have as fun a day today as I had yesterday. Enjoy the color, the fragrances, the light...and be thankful.....

.....even though we don't have to be thankful for another month or so....

Just kidding...........
