A fall day

It is only August, but there is a lonesome fall feeling in the air. The redwood fronds are turning brown, and along the highway the maple trees are showing color. The hillsides are covered with wild sweet peas and Queen Anne's lace is blooming everywhere.
We went into the Guerneville Clinic for our blood tests today and had a lovely ride in and back. The sun was shining and the air was warm and balmy.
With sadness we buried our little cat yesterday. She was 26 years old and the end had come. She had lived a long and happy life, so we had to take her loss philosophically. We made a nice resting place down in the meditation walk and will plant flowers there.
I am baking pork chops in the oven, which is a good time to blog. I have been reading "Teacher Man" to my husband today and we are both enjoying it. Take care and keep in touch.
