Antici…pation

Sunrise

I see Jake shiver with antici…pation!

Jake loves it when Laurie makes Vanilla Gelato because he gets to lick the dash, the beater, the measuring cups, and the bowls.

Jake doesn’t get to lick the ice cream freezers because his tongue would stick to the frozen metal lining the bowls. Il paparazzo gets to scrape leftover gelato off the sides of the freezers with a plastic spoon. Yum!

Another blue and gray sunset.

Dawn

“Will someone Pulease turn off the sun, already?”

Sunrise

The Ghoulies are a creepin’ and a crawlin’ into the stores to creep people out on their build up to Halloween. And the weeks, days, hours, minutes and secconds are flying by as folks anticipate the hallowed haunt before dia de los muertos.

There are only 11 shopping weeks left before Halloween. Or
77 days or
1848 hours or
110,880 minutes or
6,652,800 seconds.

Time flies like the bats, as they say, so don’t procrastinate, or you will miss out on the creepy, crawling ghouls of your dreams.

Coyotes Gate

Coyote using the Coyoteverse to shapeshift into a CoYoda.

This time of year, during the alignment of Sirius and the sun, coyote portals open up for them to move round and shapeshift through the Coyoteverse.

Tres amigos coyote waiting at Coyotes Gate.

Spunk: “Hey Paparazzo! Don’t forget about Spunks Gate and the Spunkyverse. Since today was a no sun Sunday in the Spunkyverse, it was Sirius.” Il Paparazzo: “It was rough, especially when you were having a screaming match with your doppelgänger!”

Bumbling around about the Flowers Gate in the Beeverse.

Mystery Kitty

Geese @ dawn

This kitty has been hanging around, fighting with our cats through the wire in the catio, for quite a while. The first time I saw this kitty several months ago, I was awakened by him fighting with Silver at 2:00 a.m. I stumbled out into the catio to see what was going on. I looked up to see this kitty looking down at me through the wire at the top of the catio. Seeing it in the darkness when I was half awake, it really looked like Spunk. I said, “Spunk! How did you get outside?” The kitty simply stared at me. I went back inside to put on shoes so I could go outside and collect Spunk, but there Spunk was on the bed.
