 The battle for the sunny spot Want to see where Shadow wound up?

More visitors.  The ginger cat seems to think he owns the place. .  Simple pleasure. Lying in bed, snug under a blanket, listening to the sound of rain beating against the windows, A simple pleasure that’s been denied  for months, until tonight.  We got rain.  Not enough to end the drought.  But enough to keep the brush fires at bay, at least for now. But the rain and the wind …it is fierce tonight. I guess winter is really on the way.

  Yes, a raccoon.  Did you know they’re members of the bear family? I discovered that many years ago, when my mother had to pay someone to remove a deceased raccoon from under the deck of our pool. As long as he’s not messing with my garbage cans, he’s welcome to visit any time. And then there’s my ginger buddy

 Weird night …there’s been a helicopter circling my house again … So the governor has declared that we are officially in a drought.  Oh, fun …We are supposed to get some rain later this week, but not nearly enough.  Can I say that I absolutely hate this?  So annoyed, I went to the supermarket yesterday and bought a couple of bottles of teriyaki sauce.  I was so careful packing up my shopping bags.  Or, at least I thought I was careful.  I apparently cracked one of the bottles when I packed up the car, and it leaked all over the shopping bag.  Ugh. But I picked up the ham for our Friendsgiving.  I’ve never cooked a ham before. Drew prepared a ham once.  So I’m sure we will figure out what to do with this ham.  We get the frozen turkey on Monday.   I’m going to make the mushrooms stuffed with Boursin and I’m going to bake gluten free cornbread—  I use a mix but I “doctor” it by adding honey to the batter.  Still haven’t figured out what I’m getting from the gluten free bakery,  But thing

 Ring alerted me to a person in the back yard. There you go, proof that cats are people too. He’s a big boy …
