Diana and I are really enjoying Jim C. Hines' new book, Slayers of Old. I especially love pages 24 and 27 (you'll have to read the book to see why it made me smile).

Here in Upstate NY, the fading days of fall have a special, slightly bittersweet, beauty as we brace ourselves for winter. This glorious scene was from yesterday's walk, probably one of the last of the year. Isn't it magical?

The weather is getting colder and my days of taking my walks outside are coming to an end soon. But the view from the treadmill at the gym can't lift my heart the way this does. Sigh.

Holiday appropriate cat toys. These little bat mice are their favorites. There was one in my shoe by the bed this morning. (Better that than a real mouse, I assure you.)

A beautiful sunrise through the window before the arrival of some much-needed rain. Everything is muted and gray and quiet. So lovely.

Sleep cat snuggles on another gloomy morning. We've had rain and pressure systems moving in and out for over a week, and both the fibro and the migraines are in full flare. Do kitty snuggles help? You bet they do. Let me see your sleepy companions. #felineFriday

Diana is a snuggler. She had been since she was a kitten. She'll sleep alone sometimes, but she's just as likely to find another cat and squirm her way in next to them.
