    What a fun-filled week it’s been in TDK land! Teen kitties have taken over the cafe/lounge this weekend so that seniors can relax. The squeal of supervised kittens can be heard from the giant playroom.
    The teens have set up a lovely buffet, pyro-kitties are maintaining the fire, and cabana-kitties have set up lounge chairs and umbrellas on the patio. Outside, a fresh blanket of snow can be seen on the meadow and mountains thru the floor to ceiling windows by the big stone fireplace, where comfy couches, chairs and cushions abound. Over by the patio, water laps at the beach, and a gentle breeze flows thru the trees in the nearby woods.
    Teen kitty chefs await your custom order. Don’t let their young age fool you, they know what they’re doing, although they do get a bit silly – there’s a pancake stuck to the ceiling!
    Welcome!

    Hi AV – yep, frost on the pumpkin this morning. It’s up to 41 degrees already though. The foliage is breathtaking. Leela is snoring in her box next to the bed and Comet is soaking up some rays on the sunlit bed.

    About 55 degrees here..tad colder in the house as we haven’t really been able to run heat as the renovation isn’t done. It finally looks like a house! So we will have to run heat this weekend….actually saw a few raindrops. And that doesn’t make me happy, but they seemed to get things covered.

    I think it is time for a powdered donut, apple cider, and caramel apples! I am thinking Fall apple smell will make the house smell beautiful!

    Morning, all (well, it’s morning here). Definitely fall-like in the Big Apple today, brrr. Georgie was whining this morning because we wouldn’t open the door to the balcony (we leave the screen door closed so he can sit & watch the birds), but it was just too darn cold!

    ….. it started out at 59 degrees here today, but is headed to the low 80s and then by next week, the upper 80s :/

    ….. oh SM, I love it when the house smells yummy …… later on I’m going to roast a chicken, and I’m using lots of fresh herbs, which makes everything smell delicious!

    ….. I hope the renovation gets over soon, I’ve lived through many, and each time I ‘swear’ I’ll never go through it again!

    Morning Kilroy, you snuck in while I was typing! …… I’ll bet Luna and Venus are also whinning that Son won’t open their window so they can talk to the pigeons 🙂

    Morning, all. It’s bright and sunny here but very windy. Nice to duck into the Café, where a frisky orange kit just brought me a plate of pumpkin pancakes and a hot apple cider – yum! I am on a recipe hunt today: I have some butternut squash and tart apples, looking for a dish that combines the two; the folks across the road are having their annual fall party and bonfire, and everyone brings a dish to pass.

    *sending warming vibes to SM* Your post made me think of doing something with the apples I have. I’m thinking crockpot applesauce to make the house smell nice!
    Kilroy, I bet it’s windy in the city – pretty breezy here.
    Leela finally came out of her kitty-coma and realized it’s a sunny day.

    Hi, All! It’s coolish (by Midland standards) and there is the faintest scent of rain in the air. Mr. WWM and I are frantically doing our rain dance but we could use help. AV, could you don your tutu? We had a new tree installed a couple of weeks ago and a good drink of rain water would make it so happy. This morning we have been out mulching the beds in the hopes that cool weather will actually be on the way. I found a few of my turtles out so gave them their strawberries, but they are moving a bit slower these days.

    Garden duties done…. now I get to go and quilt!!!!

    Emma, if you peek in – sending you sooooo many hugs and loves.

    WWM we had rain yesterday–not a lot, but stopped renovation work on the house….so sad. But thanks to a lift from Joan I decided that the kitchen is my salvation….and source of warmth! Applesauce in the crockpot, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin seeds! I am canning the case of tomatoes from Bountiful Basket. Husband said tonight he was cooking a romantic meal for 2 as the daughter is going to a costume party. He picked up crab legs!! So despite it all it is looking to be a wonderful weekend!

    Honestly we have to get AV dancing in video form–it works!

    Are you sure about the tutu, I think I remember that she missed last year and flooded three states. It is already damp here in Arkansas with a forcast of rain most of the week

    I am certain a few cats will love to share with me! He was going to put fish on the grill as the renovations were to be done back there….but no such luck, this is an alternative solution so we can all live….this is driving us all a little batty. I think he is watching me move and it is killing him. He is understanding what the doctors say and some of it is clearly visible. He didn’t know how bad things have been. I think the only one truly intuned are the hounds…Lissy knew me best, and Sherlock is certainly not far behind. Deuter came to lie on my knees….he knows they have to be warm. The only perfume is the food I am making, freezing, and canning!

    Hey SM, I have no idea why, but a back door blew your post outside. It’s back now.

    PS, I like your perfume 🙂

    Yeesh, I’m putting the summer stuff away which means cleaning out that closet under the stairs. It has to stay organized so that in season and emergency things are within easy reach. Which means pulling everything out to get the summer stuff in the back. There’s not a lot of stuff, but the beach chairs are cumbersome. So I’ve been crawling in and out of there, at least it’s carpeted.
    Comet was ‘helping’ for a while, but he had enough and is now napping in the sun on the rocking chair.

    LOL @ Comet ‘helping’ with the closet cleanout!

    SM, I think kitchen ‘perfume’ would be wonderful – especially with the pumpkin & fall spices you’re cooking with…….

    …… I sent Mr. AV out with a simple task yesterday ……. pick up a bag of Crystals litter – it comes in a bag, he’s seen it before, and he knows I like to mix it with clay litter for Abby – it really keeps the odor down …… what does he come back with??! …. ‘boxed’ clumping litter (which she HATES)……. how, might you ask did he make such a mistake? …… there was the words ‘crystalized’ odor control on the bag …… his ‘left’ brain only say that word and apparently nothing else, cause he thought it was a bag (forget that it’s actually a box) of the crystal litter! ………UGH! now I have to go back to the store, and I guess maybe Cuddles will use the ‘box’ stuff, she’s not so picky when it comes to litter…….

    Thanks Joan–applesauce is cooking, laundry is going–almost done! Thinking of tackling some Christmas projects too!

    The closet is back together and I have to vacuum soon. Really need to do the bedroom, but have to evict Leela first. She’s sunning herself now, so when the sun moves, I will see if I can talk her into going to another rooom!
    The house smells great! I didn’t make applesauce today; found some chicken in the freezer so that’s cooking up in the crockpot.
