Fall Ramblings #2

Hi everyone! Well, I am back once again with another rambling session. Before I forget, Muffin’s Fun post will be here tomorrow (Thursday). I got things a bit mixed up this week. Guess that means I’m a bit mixed up this week too. But for me, that’s kind of normal anyway. Another new case will begin today for The Investigators, Inc.

Perhaps something a bit different than the usual. Steve, who is Leader 1 of all the investigators, is on recovery for three months (story time) and his two favorite “ghosts” have been put into the Leader 1 position, quite by accident. So, we will see what happens when they begin to explore the past. Or will they be able to do that? Well, it is mainly cloudy again today, though the sun does peek through at times.

My geraniums are not doing quite as well as they used to during the summer.

It was amazingly foggy this morning, I could not even see over to the next street, it was hard to see even past the lane except for some foggy outlines. Monday and yesterday brought in some severe weather for us with lots of rain and strong winds. We also had tornado warnings issued for our area, something we do not get very often. After the first tornado warning on Monday my phone alarm went off telling of a tornado in the area.

The same thing happened yesterday. They were actually a bit further north of us. The main severe weather missed us, though not by very much. We did get a lot of rain though. It has been very rainy this year. According to weather records that usually means it will be a very snowy winter. I usually like to watch the birds in August and September and try to predict what the winter will be like.

But there are still some nice flowers.

It’s a little harder this year since I’m not feeding birds and I’m not able to get out and watch the bird activity around, like I could when walking down to the river. This time of year was always nice for walking to the river. The leaves would be changing color, most of the smaller bushes would already have lost their leaves so it would be easy to see longer distances.

That was nice, especially since bears lived around there and it was easier to see them further away. Though I preferred not to see them at all. I always did carry bear spray with me, although if it was windy the bear spray wouldn’t help too much, unless the wind was behind me. And the bear in front of me. Still, I would prefer not to meet a bear. But, it’s not safe from bears in this neighborhood either.

In person these look sort of velvety.

They do come around here too. Hopefully I don’t meet one of them while out walking around here. I can’t carry bear spray with me in town, it isn’t legal. Oh well. Those clouds seem to be getting darker out there again, we are supposed to get more rain later. And tomorrow. And Friday. And on the weekend. Minor details. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
