The weather was kind of gross this morning, but a patch of reflected pale pink sunrise was visible to the northeast, in a brief opening in the clouds.

Sumac Leaf
A little worse for wear, but I like the colors and the mottling.
Wild Geranium
It’s blooming. In November. Silly plant.
Leaf in Water
You know it’s time to dump the rain water out of the planters on the patio when they start growing algae and the leaves in them begin to decompose.
Sunrise
It’s been rainy and cloudy and just plain disgusting this week. For a few minutes this morning, though, the clouds broke up enough for a little bit of pink sunrise to show. If you blinked, you missed it. Luckily, I was by the window with my camera at just the right moment.

Happy 10th got day, oldladydog!
Cookbooks
It’s too cloudy here to watch the Leonids tonight. I’m not happy about it, but that’s Indiana for you. If there’s something interesting to see in the sky, it’s guaranteed to be cloudy. So, instead of staying up way past my bedtime, I’m going to be responsible and go to bed early. After waking up at 3:00 this morning and not getting back to sleep until 10 minutes before my alarm went off, a good night’s sleep is probably in order.
And anyway, the peak of the meteor shower is supposed to be at around 4:00 in the morning, so if by some freak of nature the sky clears up before I get to work, I should be able to see plenty of them. It’ll be something to look forward to while I’m walking Harriet.
(Why cookbooks? Why not cookbooks? If you’re going to take a gratuitous photo, it ought to be, well, gratuitous, yes?)
Happy Got Day, Miss Brown!

One month ago
It’s hard to believe it’s been ten whole years!
The Girls
Harriet
Polly
Henry
I have a whole list of stuff that I did not do today. Instead, I sat on the couch with a headache and watched horrible wedding shows on TLC. It was like one of those train wrecks that you can’t look away from. Where on earth do they find these people?!
So, anyway, I did finally empty the dish washer and sorta kinda maybe clean the kitchen, and I did take a few photos of somewhat more or less cooperative kittens. (Miss Brown, on the other hand, is always cooperative with the camera.)
Birdehs of Perpetual Motion
Polly is parked in the “crow’s nest” of the cat tree, watching the birds. So far today, we’ve had these silly little brown birds (house sparrows?), several crows, and a kestrel.
