Something that happens in the Fall, is a true mystery to me.
The birds leave!
All the Summer Song Birds!
There is not one left.
Although, we do have some birds who stay here, but they aren’t the same sweet tasting sounding birds of Summer. Boy, don’t let Mom know I wrote that…I crossed it out so she can’t see. Do NOT tell her! Eating birds is something that ALWAYS gets me in trouble.
If Mom sees my catch one, she runs very fast and scares me so I drop the bird. Then Mom grabs the bird and takes it someplace where I can’t find it.
Mom and I have a thing about Me eating birds!!!
Anyway, the birds leave.
And lots of bugs seem to leave, although those nasty wasps seem to stay year-round.
And Spiders.
We never get rid of spiders. I got a spider bite so bad Mom had to take me to the vet.
Anyway, the next installment will be the WORK of AUTUMN!

Birds and spiders (especially poisonous ones) do NOT sound delicious at all, CC. I gotta side with your mama on that one…
Love and licks,

I see birds all the time thru the window. Meow. I chatter at them but, I don’t think they can here me. Meow. If I could only catch one… Meow. My mommy would probably scold me if I did. Meow. I chase spiders in the house, a lot. Meow. They are fun to play with. Meow. So are the occasional roach or water bug. Meow. I have fun with stink bugs, too. Meow. The only things that have bitten me and made me miserable are those nasty fleas. Meow. I hate those things. Meow.
