Or should I say DOUBLE monster day?
It’s MONSTER day but guess what……….not just inside monster but also outside monster – the leaves will be sucked up AFTER the house is finished! That means I will have NO PEACE today.
There is one good thing about the outside bit though – – – – right now we have so many leaves down that I can’t find my grass to munch on! It’s totally covered AND I don’t particularly enjoy walking on the leaves either. So, after they’re “removed” by the SUPER DUPER MONSTER outside, I’ll be happy. I’ll try to grin and bear it until it’s over with. Mom is gonna be brave too in her OWN special way………HAHAHA
Yes Mom….we know how you feel about it all…..
There aren’t any dust bunnies OUTSIDE though………..just inside……………I’ll be standing by to come out from hiding!
No worries Mom – I’ll handle cleaning out my own litter box……HAHA
Mom and Dad think that all the leaves will be down in the next few weeks – hopefully before Thanksgiving. I’m not so sure………..I still see an awful lot of them hanging on for dear life up in the big oak trees………..
See? Still some green leaves that haven’t turned!
You may remember this photo – I usually drag it out from my photo files in the Fall…………it just reminds me of how pretty Virginia is in the Fall…………this is a photo my Mom snapped out the window of my Dad’s Cessna as they flew over the countryside several Falls ago……………every color there is!
Leaves from up in the air…..
From the air it looks like a box of jewels or maybe a big box of candy……….every flavor and taste………..the beauty of Virginia Fall…………..can’t beat it!
Happy FRIDAY !!

Hi Charlie! The leaves really are spectacular this year. Mostly the colorful ones are finished and now there’s a lot of brown ones still hanging on the trees waiting to fall. Wish they’d hurry up and do that so we could stop with all the yardwork (noisy!).
