A little sunshine and a modicum of color as I wake up today....
As you can tell I slept til I woke up all by myself...a rare treat



Looking down into my huge leaf receptacle, maybe it's time to start raking



Checking to see if the pumpkin is still topping my cairn



and if Cerberus is still guarding the Big pumpkin



waving to a bit of wabi-sabi and starting my day late

1. oh, the leaves through the window
And you can see the screen!! That is nice, very nice. I would love that view waking up in the morning. Love the cairn as well. Is that held together with cement or something? I live in the delta and I miss having rocks around. I hauled some here from Arkansas once, and even bought rocks at a landscaping place once. There are no "natural" rocks around here.

3. Thank you - Celebration. I've only moved my bedroom to the top floor a few
weeks ago, and I would never move back. I wake in the middle of the trees, and in the winter I will have a breathtaking view of the lights and tall buildings of downtown, because I live near downtown on a hill.
I have hauled rocks from everywhere. The cairn is simply layered, as cairns are, no cement.
Wingnuts knocked it down during the campaign, I always just rebuilt it. Keeps my muscles good.
Now they stopped.

2. I'm with Celebration
the first shot has a dream-like quality.

And as always, thanks for the glimpses of the cool stuff you've surrounded your house with. I love Cerberus.

4. Thanks, JeffR. I am seriously considering that one as an entry
for the seasonal contest.

5. I think it would be a good one
but of course my track record of picking winners is, well, bad.

7. A friend for Cerberus
He's from the other side of the tracks but I think he's trainable...

10. An apt friend indeed. This one is the best, what a neat surprise to suddenly have
a little hell hound convention going. I think, Elfin Yeti, you and I would laugh at a lot of the same things.
