It was a lovely day, sunny and warm. Relaxing. It's turning cool now though and it's supposed to be quite cool the next week, with possible frost on Thursday.

The weekend seemed too short. I can't believe we have to go back to work again already tomorrow.

Last week I took out the dying petunias and planted these asters and the mums in their place.

Bob was out of town this week, Monday through Friday in Houston on a business training trip. He sent me this beautiful fall bouquet though. It was the longest week ever. My laptop died Sunday night, and Dell couldn't come out until yesterday. Everything is back to good and normal now, though.

Aunt Suzie and Grandma came down to Battle Creek today, and we went over to the Humane Society. It was so nice having them there!

Grandma made lots of friends in the cat room right away :)

Aunt Suzie made a fast friend in puppy terrier Chilli. They went and looked at the garden, too. It was so nice spending time together!

My Matty. This little cat has captured my heart, and he holds it in his tiny little paws. He loves to be held on his back and cuddled like a baby, and he loves to play with the other cats. I can't believe he and his brother Tweety are growing up in the adoptable cat room.

Today was sunny and warm, around 83 degrees. It's cooled to 73 this evening which is just the perfect temperature.

This pepper from the CSA was so pretty, I had to photograph it before it went into tonight's salad.

This little creature was on the concrete this morning by the front door of the shelter.

It was 47 degrees when I left the house this morning at 6:55, but it was sunny and 78 by this afternoon.

Today was hard. Came in to hear that someone had left a mama cat and three kittens in the middle of the parking lot. Good mama had moved them up close to the door, one by one...they were so tiny and still nursing, couldn't get up there on their own. But it was very cold last night (44 degrees on the way to work) and although she tried to keep them warm, it wasn't enough. The staff found three dead kittens by the front door this morning.

My sweet Sycamore, the last photo from last month, was euthanised today. I can't even stand the thought of it, and I know I won't be able to put it out of my mind when I go to bed tonight. Misery.

The rest of the day was rounded out by donors screaming at me over the phone about the building project, which is going well, as you can see from today's photo. How can it be only Tuesday?
