Sunshine and busy twittering birds starts my October. The heater above me is not dishing out much heat. Autumn is here for sure. Beau Teak kitty is snuggled on my lap. He and I continue the battle: eat a little more, drink a little less. Eat glop and please try not to open your mouth so wide that you yowl in pain. Beau has always needed to be near a human. He is a Siamese who needs to know where his humans are. I hope he has forgotten his days of being caged at the Shelter. I'm hoping hired help shows at 11 to do the final weed mowing for this year. I need to get out and pick some cherry tomatoes. Dullsville but needed. I love this little town. It still has a downtown hardware store and that store has an upfront section of vintage and antique items in it. I found a lovely two basket stand there yesterday. I'm capturing some of my clutter and putting that into the baskets. More dullsville!

It sounds like an ideal place to live.

Thanks @AmbiePam. I wish the homeless problem could be solved.

@sallypup Do you think it’s a mixture of lack of job training, mental illness, and lack of affordable housing?

@AmbiePam Yes to all of the above. I live on the interstate that runs from California to Canada. Housing is expensive here and not enough of it. We did great when we grabbed this house- squeezed in before ALL housing costs skyrocketed.

I hear ya on the kitty..Nico has suddenly decided he doesn't like his prescription food after I just ordered him a new bag of the stuff he used to like. He will only eat it if I make a game out of tossing it for him. I keep thinking if he gets hungry enough he will eat it, but so far no dice. I will play more food toss when he gets up, if he won't eat it.

@snowy22315 My other guy, Fred, is like your Nico. Fred is supposed to be eating prescription food. He also is supposed to be enjoying getting a squirt of heart meds in his food-tastes like chicken says the pharmacy. Tastes like crap says Fred.
