My Backyard


The birch and Japanese maples are well into their fall colors. They are starting to match the colors in the Tibetan prayer flags Pika and her person sent me last Summer when I had surgery to remove a cycst.
I like my backyard. Lots of sunny spots for soaking. A lawn to lounge on waiting for bugs to bite and eat out of the air. Sometimes there are cats to chase out IMMEDIATELY.
But for now, I prefer a post-lunch snooze in a warm cozy spot indoors. Sort of chilly today. And the days are still getting shorter.
