Leaves About!!

Look at Carl!!!
He sits out there, on the other side of the fence is Wally, a mid size poodle, that comes out and they bark at one another. Even tho he can hardly stand up and walks like a drunken sailor, he is ready to absolutely kill Wally, little does Wally know... ha!!!
Carl charges the fence and barks and snarls and bites at the fence, he is beyond himself. I take it as his exercise and cardio vascular workout....

There are still some leaves up there, but most are down and all over the neighborhood!!!

I swear they are knee high out there. Carl loves to tromp thru them and do his duty right on the top of the pile.  Going to be such fun trying to get them up!!! I use gloves, of course.

Went out and sat in my chair for awhile, it was so very nice out there, no wind, just really, really nice.  Good weather for picking up leaves!!!!
Hahahaha

Just finished a really good book "the Lilac Girls" by Martha Hall Kelly. It is a WWII novel about the medical experiments on women in the women's only concentration camp, Ravensbruck, in Germany. It was really horrid.  Some survived and Caroline Ferriday a NY socialite raised money and got donations to bring 63 of them from Poland to the US to get medical aide and reconstructive surgery. It was a bittersweet, heartening story of our involvement and compassion following WWII.  It was really well written from Caroline's point of view, one of the survivors, and the Doctor that performed many of the 'experiments' (very true story) It covered the period of time from 1939 to 1959... So you really got involved in their stories/lives and how they got to where they ended.  Good, good book.

Take Care All and God Bless
