Caturday ~ house sitting with Babe

Babe is watching a squirrel, and I'm house sitting, which includes feeding her.  When I arrived this afternoon, she immediately meowed to me and wanted to be petted.  I think we'll have a grand time together.  By the way, her tail was twitching when I took this photo.

When I opened the curtain in "my" bedroom, the timing was perfect for me to see and take notice of a very ordinary event.  A cupped, brown leaf fluttered down, floating and spinning like a helicopter coming in for a landing.  It descended to the stair rail — and slid all the way to the bottom, just like a kid.  Zipping off the end, the leaf became a ballerina, spiraling as she joined the layers of identical brown leaves who'd taken the plunge before she did.

I love the way she is looking under the curtain. Our dog does that under our gate when we arrive home
