Dual Moments

The blends of summer and fall are happening everywhere I look; the sun has set by the time the soccer game is at the third quarter. Will the last game in early October be played in the dark?

Aidan's green team was ahead and coach gave him a turn at goalie...
...and he kicks it back into play. Green won. Julio on defense.

Toby is eating more even though the days are a last hot, humid gasp of summertime. He is growing another coat for the coming season.

Keepin' it clean.
The five hens take an afternoon siesta under the table and chairs. I wonder what they think of their eggs sitting on top of the table where they were left on their journey into the house when Keoni was distracted from his chore.

Sometimes Toby takes a nap with the hens...

...but not today. A rat is under the growth!
Toby doesn't know yet that rats and mice are edible. I'm certain he thinks they beat chasing a dumb fuzzy thing with a bell in it back in his condo days. When I pick up Toby he doesn't feel like a huge fluff ball any more. He is all muscle.

Having the space in the barn is gratifying and pleasant to work in. The wifi doesn't reach there, but maybe that is a good thing. It freed space in my bedroom, too.

The walks around the property are in pleasant weather most of the recent days except the last few when summer appeared again. But, then, exercise happens; there are all our stairs and I don't want to discount the Tai Chi.


The black walnuts are quickly changing...


...and the grasses, too.

Summer and fall saying how do you do.

After the last big rain.
Well, it is time to go contemplate the dust fuzzies. I hope this finds you all well and prospering.
