Good morning. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒฟ

13 August 2023

I stayed up late reading last night. I try to stop at the end of a chapter, but often the end of a chapter leaves me wanting to find out what happens next, so I'll read another chapter. Late for me means after 10 PM, last night wound up around midnight. I like my mornings. Not to worry though, my buddies, Ben and Charlie, were at the bedroom door before 6 AM.

After my morning ritual, I laid back in my recliner to sleep. Charlie, vigilant as ever, made sure that I was up again before 7:30, to fix them breakfast. I've written about this before, I'm amazed at how accurately they track time. I think Charlie might be getting help from our grandfather clock, it starts counting of the hour at 7 AM.

I don't tire of writing about the dogs, they're comical.

@Swede1952 Aaah, simply lovely, rough brown bark, soft leaves with colour.

I used to feed a stray cat. Every morning, 7 oโ€™ clock on the dot, she sat waiting outside my (Guyana) kitchen window.

People around me here in CT moan and whine about the Virginia Creeper vines, but I like them. I know they host a number of Native buggy critters and they are so easy to pull out---great long runners of them. I know some people can get a rash, but I've never had one from it. It's a great fall color, too.
