Already

~ ~ ~

Summer has come to an end.

It was a warm one.

Did a lot.

Read lots of books.

Sat in the sun.

We had a lot of that.

Not normal for us but warm is the new.

Went on a few mini vacations.

Had lots of fun.

Read more books.

Walked when I could.

Sat and enjoyed the views.

Had a grand time.

Now, Fall has arrived.

Getting cold.

Rainy too.

I miss Summer already.

Just saying ...

Twice As Much

~ ~ ~ 

Lots of things going on in my life.

Odd to be going back in time.

Some things I remember and some I don't.

People I haven't talked to in thirty years.

That's a long time.

Some are very friendly

and some aren't.

Change is good.

Some don't and some do.

Might see a few of them.

Might not.

Haven't decided yet.

Me, I've changed so much.

I'm bolder.

Wiser.

Calmer.

Scratch that .. I was wise and calm.

I was a watcher.

The silliness that was.

Now, I live a richer life.

Not needing any of the oddness that goes on.

I am a loner and a watcher.

I prefer to just be.

On the old body going crazy department.

I have three things going on.

Not one but three.

As if I didn't have anything to do

with my old life.

It seems that I will always

be fighting to survive.

It does get tiring and emotionally challenging.

I will try to not be that lady.

The one who goes outside

and yells at the world.

I've done that before.

Many times in fact.

So, if you see someone doing that

just know that it might be me.

Just saying ...

Happenings

~ ~ ~

It's been a while.

I know.

Life.

Keeps me busy.

I mean to get here.

Just haven't until today.

Lots of things going on.

People doing bad things.

Getting away with it.

Me, trying to warn others.

No one listened.

They thought I was being odd.

Nope, just telling the truth.

That's why no one tells others.

No one believes.

So, the person who did it,

gets away with it.

What can I say.

Just annoyed at people.

It's the reason I stay

kind of away

in my woods.

(I live in a homeowners association neighborhood.

The current board members are sort of 

like a group of dictators.

I volunteered last year.

Was treated terribly.

Decided I didn't want to put up with it.

This year, I wrote the neighborhood

a note telling them what happened.

No one believed me.

They got away with it.

That's why people don't tell

anyone what happens.)

What I learned ..

Never volunteer (at least not in my neighborhood)

Always believe in yourself

There really are bad people 

(I already knew that but still when you actually meet

one .. I'm still shocked)

I now will watch as they continue to do

what they want and see if any of the

goofs who live here

do anything about it.

I'm only one person

and without others listening

nothing will be done.

At least I tried.

Can walk away knowing that.

Confirms why I'm kind of loner

I watch from the woods

And, that is my talk to myself.

What Is That

The sun has decided to visit.

How that just makes the day.

I live in the woods.

Dark in the Winter.

Wet from the rain.

Green from the trees and moss.

Yes, I said moss.

Down my driveway and into the woods.

I love it here. Most times.

Only when it's yucky wet and dark, nope.

So, today with yellow stuff visiting,

it makes me think,

that Spring might come back.

It is amazing here

in the Spring and Summer.

Most of the early Fall days too.

It's just the green slimy walkways

that make an old lady trip

and the lawn that looks terrible

due to moss and the feet

that sink into it

if you don't look where 

you are walking.

Like I said, the sun is out.

Brings me hope.

I still won't be going out

there though but soon.

Mew At You Later,

JC

Just Life

~ ~ ~

Been a while since I've been here.

Lots went on.

Spring and Summer.

Warm.

My dog was worn out.

She died.

Very very sad times.

Most of that time was spent

helping her in the last days.

Next we recovered.

It took a mental toll

on everyone.

Not the cats but the humans

and my other dog.

We did decide to adopt.

A new puppy has 

kept me hopping.

Literally.

I'm almost sleeping

through the nights.

We're at that stage

of the new fur ball

in the house.

The normal that will be

is almost here.

The cats don't really care.

Not after that first week

where they were

what did Mom do 

this time.

Now, it's just oh

it's the short dog.

The Winter blahs

have arrived.

Rain, cold, snow, ice

and wind.

I do so enjoy the

warmer months.

I always have.

I always will.

That's the latest.

No big deals .. really.

Just life.

As it goes

over here.
