Yesterday was rather a rough day. It started early, ended late, and grew steadily worse as the day wore on. But at least I have some pretty flowers to show for it:
Today has been so much better, despite getting off to a rough start. Hope your Saturday has been filled with fun! 🙂

Yep, it’s another beautiful sunset. Last night’s sunset was magnificent; I could have watched it all night.
But this morning it was followed by an equally magnificent sunrise, which my hurried picture didn’t do justice:
The sun must be rising a little later, because it was dark when I woke up this morning. I don’t like waking up before the sun because it’s awfully hard to leave my warm, cozy bed behind for the chilly darkness of early morn.

Apparently, the front step has become the place to go for kitty pictures. Every morning, the boys dart outside and capture the kitties, usually Opal and sometimes Socks, too. Then it’s off to the front step, with shouts of, “Mommy, you should take my picture! Mommy, take a picture!”
Of course, when we get home in the evenings, it’s the same story – they dash out of the car, grab a kitty, and run off to pose for a picture. Opal seems to have resigned herself to the boys manhandling her, but Socks and Shadow are usually less than thrilled with these forced modeling sessions.
Still, they make some darn cute pictures. 🙂

I had the day off work today, so I took advantage of the free time and got some writing done.
Like, a lot of writing. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000 words, if I’m not mistaken.
This excites me greatly because I’m not always able to get a lot of writing done on my days off and also because I managed to get a bunch of other things (cooking, a load of laundry, a bit of light cleaning) done today as well. Must be my long-lost time management skills trying to reassert themselves. 🙂
I hope today was as wonderful and productive for you as it was for me! How did you spend your day?
It’s rainy, gray, and dismal outside today. Tomorrow is supposed to be much the same, but colder to boot. This makes for great writing weather, but otherwise it’s all rather dreary.
On top of that, it’s Monday. I strongly dislike Mondays, though after watching this cartoon, I have no wish to get rid of them. 😀
Anyway, to counteract all this drabness, I give you this:
Nothing says cheery like a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. I may have to set this image as my desktop background in a month or two when winter’s monotone colors threaten to drive me up the wall.
What’s Monday like for you?

As I mentioned yesterday, I have a thing for sunsets:
And with sunsets like these, can you blame me? I love Iowa. 🙂

As I drove home from work last night, I found myself thinking about this week’s photo challenge and what I could possibly post that was even remotely dreamy.
I know exactly what I would post if I were, say, fifteen years younger (cue pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Nick Carter, and JC Chasez).
Mmm, dreamy. 🙂
I can’t believe October is a third over already. Pretty soon there’ll be snow on the ground, and I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet.
In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy the sunshine and colors while I can get them, because they’ll be gone before I know it.

Every time I leave the house, say for work in the mornings, I have to chase Opal out of the garage. Cricket has gotten quite good at wrangling her (and she’s gotten quite good about letting him). But today it was Thumper’s turn:
Opal’s gotten pretty good about letting Thumper manhandle her, too. And it’s a good thing, because apparently he doesn’t mind getting scratched. He just wants to hold them and love them and pet them and hug them and never let them go (although he doesn’t seem to care one way or another about naming them George). 🙂

I love books. A house is not a home without them.
And when I come home and find a brand new book waiting for me in the mailbox? Well, if there’s a better way to end a long day at work, then I don’t know it. 🙂
Thank you to Kip Wilson for the pretty, pretty package I found in my mailbox tonight! What do you love coming home to after a long day?

Suddenly they all died. The end.
