Just look at this mug. I get nothing done when he is around.
It's all about pats on the head and tummy rubs.
And when he drops and rolls I lose it. :)

The trees are finally at their best these beautiful fall days. Here is one that I thought looked 'outstanding in it's field' when I was on my walk last week. A maple surrounded by cedars.
I have a few photos that I wanted to add to this post of the construction but for some reason I can't upload them so I will be back soon with those.
There is still a lot of waiting as the fall puts a rush on every roofer and construction crew in the area to finish their projects at each and every site. We have the membrane being installed on the roof on Friday and windows going in on Tues. The patio doors are in and the floor is done in the basement. Still...lots of waiting.
Onwards and upwards.
And, of course, Annie will have nothing to do with David stealing the show here so here she is having a stare-down with the cactus today.
"Just one bite"...she thinks.

He follows me around like a baby duck. He loves to visit and we love him; he just can't go near Simon's den. That's the rule and he knows it.
Yes, he's that smart.
So that is my excuse for still having one more garden to put to bed.
And as promised to a few new followers:

Don't worry...she's too smart for that.
