Can someone please explain Daylight Saving Time to the cats? 7:00 in the morning is not the time for your 8:00 treats which you weren’t even supposed to have until 9 anyway!
Although we’ve already switched from Daylight Saving Time, The Kid Brother has not. I have to remember to call him an hour earlier from here Tuesday night.
Instead of heading out for a walk as I said I was doing at the end of yesterday’s blog, I went back to bed. Another slow day. I did have a great walk this morning. I’m a bit more tired than usual, but I’m still standing (well, sitting). Maybe even the gym this afternoon, but I’m not making any promises.
Rather than putting his shirts away for more than a year now, San Geraldo has been stacking them in a corner of his office with the intention of sorting through all the drawers and getting rid of what he doesn’t want and organizing what he does. The stack had grown to over 4 feet tall and had sent off a volunteer stack or two. Well, SG finally yesterday decided to attack the stack. At one point the entire living room and dining room were filled with piles of his clothes. He now has some drawers done and the rest of the clothes are sorted and stacked on the dining room table and chairs. Dudo thinks the T-shirts make a great bed.
Steve, of the blog Shadows and Light, recently wrote about the difference in the color of the flowers in his garden as the seasons change. I noticed the same thing with our desert rose. The flowers on the second plant had been a vivid pink verging on red. The current flowers at this late time in its cycle are a much softer pink.
The first two of today’s photos are from this morning after I rolled out of bed. The third photo is from my walk. There’s a chance of rain today and a bigger chance tomorrow. Or should I say fat chance?
¿Alguien puede explicarles el horario de verano a los gatos? ¡Las 7:00 de la mañana no es el momento para tus delicias de las 8:00 que de todos modos no debías comer hasta las 9!
Aunque ya cambiamos del horario de verano, The Kid Brother aún no lo ha hecho. Debo acordarme de llamarlo una hora antes desde aquí el martes por la noche.
En lugar de salir a caminar como dije al final del blog de ayer, volví a la cama. Otro día lento. Tuve un gran paseo esta mañana. Estoy un poco más cansada que de costumbre, pero sigo de pie (bueno, sentada). Quizás incluso al gimnasio esta tarde, pero no hago ninguna promesa.
En lugar de guardar sus camisas desde hace más de un año, San Geraldo las ha estado apilando en un rincón de su oficina con la intención de ordenar todos los cajones y deshacerse de lo que no quiere y organizar lo que sí quiere. La pila había crecido hasta más de 4 pies de altura y había enviado una o dos pilas de voluntarios. Bueno, SG finalmente ayer decidió atacar la pila. En un momento, toda la sala y el comedor se llenaron con montones de su ropa. Ahora tiene algunos cajones arreglados y el resto de la ropa está ordenada y apilada sobre la mesa y las sillas del comedor. Dudo cree que las camisetas son una gran cama.
Steve, del blog Shadows and Light, escribió recientemente sobre la diferencia en el color de las flores de su jardín a medida que cambian las estaciones. Noté lo mismo con nuestra rosa del desierto. Las flores de la segunda planta eran de un rosa intenso, rayando en el rojo. Las flores actuales en este último momento de su ciclo son de un rosa mucho más suave.
Las dos primeras fotos de hoy son de esta mañana después de que me levanté de la cama. La tercera foto es de mi paseo. Hay posibilidades de lluvia hoy y mayores posibilidades mañana. ¿O debería decir muchas posibilidades?

Those are some beautiful photos you’ve taken, Scoot. We have the time change coming up here. It frustrates and confuses us, too, especially those of us who wait for someone to serve us our meals. She can be slow–and annoying–as it is.
Love,
Janie

Even with not working anymore, the time change is unsettling. And then, of course, there’s Moose and his 6:00 alarm this morning.
Had to send this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPz2wwYUbnvQvFezTMj7sST6QDansfm5njXbw2BXtUx1TuNV4rZulMbr1E2a6Tecq7McrmzOKzY5BDwb4FEjXL8-ySZMB4YJhPH2rQsAlD1AmhAqT4EytJutcQQYABA-Te32dCouC0dZWWlpLaKsrVAL5VrN45NTKZ-aUfG6jzIvDM-gmD2qb8/s540/halloween%20cat%20food.jpg
sillygirl:
This is hilarious. Yep, that would be Moose.
That first photo is stunning — so moody and evocative!
Debra:
Thanks. I raced out of bed to capture that. It changes so quickly.
Holy cow, those are some incredible photos.
I’m hoping you got out for a walk, and enjoyed it.
I understand the stack. We have a stack. Or two. Not mine. 🙂
Judy C:
Isabel would just roll her eyes every week. I’m sure she’s been dying to organize it all for SG. I did have a good walk. Was a bit worn out in the afternoon, but got things done around here… and napped.
I’d say attack the stack before the stack attacks! That’s some pile of shirts!!!
Bob:
The Leaning Tower of Polos. It DID collapse a couple of times.
I hate this “winter time” 😡 No one gets up an hour earlier for the morning light here were we lives.
Prefere summertime with one hour longer daylight
Anon:
I don’t understand why we’re still using Daily Saving Time, nor why Spain is still not in its correct time zone.
Lovely photos!
Jim:
Thanks. The sunrise moments pass so quickly.
This time of year always makes me maudlin. Like “Anonymous”, I need more daylight! Time to get to Holland & Barrett health foods and get some Vitamin D, methinks… Jx
Jon:
When we lived in Rural Connecticut and worked at Yale, we used go to work in the dark each morning and go home in the dark every afternoon. It made us miserable.
Oh I hear ya. We’ll have the same thing at my house when the time changes this weekend. I should say hubby will have the same thing as he’s the breakfast guy for our darling cat. He also drapes all his shirts on the banister upstairs. The banister’s spindles have started to fall out due to the weight of those shirts…..yea. At least that 4 foot pile moved a bit huh?
tobyo:
The rule in our house is that SG can leave his things wherever he wants in his office. The rest of the hoiuse is off limits. Except for these times when he needs to spread out to get organized, he’s very good at following the rule. His office is an obstacle course.
I forgot to comment on the lovely photos!! Love them!
tobyo:
Thanks so much.
Sky serenity always works for moi!
ron troke:
The sky changes so quickly. I’m glad I sometimes catch those views so I can enjoy them again later.
Thanks for the link! I wonder if the blossom colors change because there’s less sun, or maybe because it’s less intense?
Dave piles his clothes on top of his armoire, and you should see the stack up there. I’m always afraid it’s going to topple over and crash into the windowsill or mantel but it hasn’t happened yet!
We’re having the same issues with Daylight Saving Time. We have to remember that folks in the states are still on it but we’re not, as of Sunday.
Steve:
SG is only allowed to pile his things in his office, and he understands. It’s a good balance between my borderline OCD and his borderline Hoarder (not really, I just didn’t want to say “slob”).
Ah, yes, the short days of winter. My doctor advised me to drink more milk as I’m not going to get it any vitamin D from the sun for a while. I don’t like milk unless it’s the chocolate variety, so that’s what I’m drinking.
Kirk:
I was just thinking the other day about how few people (no people) I know who drink plain milk. I haven’t heard it prescribed for adulta for the winter months.
I look forward to being able to sleep in later when it is dark, and going to sleep earlier when it is dark. I am going through the dress shirts in my closet, I wear them, if they fit and I like them I keep them, if not – I toss them. I have eliminated about 1/3 of them so far.
David:
I haven’t seen SG’s elimination pile. There’s a pile on the floor that need special spot treatment for cleaning.
