Good morning and Happy Saturday to all of you! Here I sit once again, with my coffee, watching the morning wake up. Definitely not as much traffic early on a Saturday morning. Guess most people like to sleep later on Saturday. Unless they have kids. Or pets. At least Muffin let me sleep later this morning too. She did not wake me up until 5:11am, which is not bad at all.

That is almost my normal time to get up anyway. That would be 5:30 in case you are wondering. And if you were not wondering, you know now anyway. I heard a blue jay calling this morning, and some geese flew past, but I have not seen or heard any other birds this morning. Oh, I see a gull flying around right now, a ring-billed gull, that is always nice to see.

Part of the living room. Still work to do but it is looking a lot better now. Muffin’s scratching post is in the middle of the room.

They can soar effortlessly on those air currents for hours. I am going to share a couple of pics of the apartment here today. It is starting to look more normal in here though there is still lots to do, especially getting all the shelves done with their proper displays. But the boxes are gone in here now and I put an area rug on the floor.

The bedroom needs a bit more work done and there are still 6 boxes in there that need to be unpacked. I have an area rug for the bedroom too. I found it hard on my back walking around on a cement floor all the time, so the area rugs will help a bit with that. Otherwise I have to wear my hiking shoes all day long. They are well cushioned so they help my back too.

Another view of the living room.

But I do not like to wear them inside all day. Although I might end up doing that anyway since I cannot put carpet everywhere. The area rugs help Muffin too. She had stopped playing and running around because she would slip and slide too much on the tile floor. She likes the carpet better and we had a good playtime this morning. I had just put down the area rug last night.

Hopefully I can get the one put down in the bedroom today. That one will be a bit harder to do since there is quite a bit that needs to be moved out of the way. It is cloudy again today, supposed to be showers most of the day and tomorrow too. Yesterday’s high temp was 60F (15.6C), today and tomorrow should be about the same. One day this week the temp dropped to just 38F (about 3C).

Muffin after our playtime this morning.

Fall is definitely with us. Trees continue to change color and some have already dropped all, or most, of their leaves. I have not seen any of the deer around lately, I have been hoping to get more pics of them. I am sure they will return again. Well, time for more coffee and start to get that bedroom in order. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
