A Cool Walk

Although the sky has cleared the sunshine does not warm my backyard. At less than 60 degrees the temperature is invigorating and I step briskly around the piles of branches still waiting to be cut into manageable lengths to fit my yard waste bin. Little wood gnomes aren’t coming in the dark to do the job for me. The visiting black cat with red collar was up in the hazel brush outside the kitchen when I drank morning coffee. She is an early riser that appears to come from the west side of Wade’s house. When I scolded her she quickly pushed through a narrow opening under the cedar fence into the shelter belt. The odor of a skunk wafted in the air but see it I did not. I turned on the water to saturate the ground around the big trees to keep them happy. Makes me feel good to think they are. I am going to dress warmer for a morning walk if this cool weather continues. The calendar indicates that summer is over so prepare!
