This 6am morning’s night sky was crystal clear.Not even slight scrim of cloud wisped across bright stars. I was struck by the continuous stream of satellites,none stop consistently spaced line that crossed the big dipper/plough constellation. I counted 15 as I walked&dogs romped

Working away quietly on my vine house walkway when the heavens open, rain & hail pummel the roof. All dogs want to come inside, even a most reluctant Java seeks shelter.

Cat Ovenmitt gives pupper Java a bath. Cozy next to Aga as chilly November rain starts to fall.
This is not AI but real farm life, a cat and dog’s companionable relationship

Fascinated by these strange mushrooms growing in this location. They’re actually very beautiful in a lacy sort of way.

Last walk before bed.
Dogs raced off barking after a lingering musky fox trail up the garden&into woods.
Cold north winds blow,rustling the last leaves that still cling to their trees.
Stars glitter in a moonless sky. A star falls then another the annual Leonids meteor shower

Simple pleasures:
It’s 4:30 on a November Sunday afternoon, outside temperatures are dropping. This calls for a Bailey’s hot chocolate, a comfortable chair, cozying up to the Aga with a good book and a pile of dogs on my lap.

Some people wish they were a pocket sized pupper rather than a huge wolf sized dog.
Just so they could be tucked into their human companion’s coat to enjoy dry mutual radiated warmth
