Strange

For some reason, about one thousand pigeons (?) are currently in the trees in and around our backyard. I could hear them from our living room and walked outside to see what was going on. The dogs are waiting patiently for just one to swoop down low enough to be caught.

The beautiful, golden yellow leaves of the maple in our backyard have almost all fallen down now. They blanket the whole backyard. I just spotted Ripley the dog's striped rope toy on a limb about eight feet off the ground. Hmm. I'd like to know the story of how it got there.

I absolutely love this time of year. I want to take a picture and live in it year round.
