Back to Normal

We're finally back to our morning routine. It seems like forever since Beyla and I made our daily rounds, but after a few oversleeping mishaps on my part all is back to normal.

In hand today, a steaming cup of the crudely named, aptly famed Three Peckered Billy Goat. A fine brew guaranteed to start your day off right. :)

Beyla was nosing the gate as we went out, I think she was raring to go. A lot's changed in the 2 weeks we were off. It's markedly colder now. So much so I donned a jacket. And weird light this morning. The sky was a dull, faintly bluish grey and the moon was still clearly visible overhead. Just a hint of orange-red at the tops of the trees across the swamp.

I'm not sure if it was the pre-sunrise light or the cold, but the woods were nearly silent this morning broken only byt he occassional Bluejay or Chickadee. Sounds like everybody else has packed up and headed south. Even our cranky Heron has departed it seems. But still a nice brisk morning walk was had and that's all that matters.

Anyway, I'm off tomorrow to get ready for the big Halloween haunt so we'll get out later than normal. It'll be more like weekend hours. This weekend it's off to Maine again with Ripley, Gus, and Lexi too! It'll be a grand time for all no doubt. Hopefully Boo and I can get in another circle island tour this trip.
