Virginia creeper

Any day now huge flocks of Starlings will land on this side of the house to eat the berries (like small grapes) from our Virginia Creeper vine, ... sending Gussie & Oliver, who will crouch hidden on the other side of the window, into a mad, crazed kitten frenzy.

This red ... just sends me.

Off to walk with Miss D. it's fleece headband and glove weather this morning, there's a cold wind blowing in off the harbour and it sure feels like Autumn.

10am - what began as a chilly morning has turned into an absolutely glorious cloudless, blue sky, sunny fall day. I'll putter around outside this morning and after lunch our (Missy D & my) best girlfriends Deb & Maggie Sue will arrive for our weekly Sunday afternoon stroll around this little village. I watched Drain the Ocean on the Discovery Channel last night (previously taped on my combo VCR/DVD player) - a 2 hour documentary with amazing computer animation of what the ocean floor would look like if we could drain away the water - Wow ! and by drastic contrast my new favourite TV guilty pleasure show ... King of the Crown - Bizarre !
