Turn Of The Weather

I like having a black cat. Louie is silky and slim and waits at the door to check out every trick or treater. With his yellow eyes he also looks like he could be a mascot for the Livestrong organization.

Every year, even here in Southern California, it always seems that the weather, at least in the evening, is cool and fall-like by Halloween. This year was no exception -- warm and sunny during the day and then crisp last night. And the lovely gift of another hour to sleep last night. It's enough to get me to sit at my desk, to look forward to the writing I'm going to do, to have the energy to make healthy, vegetable-laden foods.

And here I am - up and at my computer a bit early for a Sunday morning, ready to get going. Because of course I was up before six because there is no way to tell the cats they will be fed an hour later.
