Fall brings so much. Back to school. Cooler weather. For me it’s the most dramatic in change. Perhaps the colors or that it was always the time that as a child we went from play to work. Just as it is the first fall in six years without Roxie, now there’s Koko. Finally, finally Jean Claude seems to be warming up to the new kitten a domestic shorthair.

Stress Management
Experts have long reported the persons who have pets, particularly cats are often less stressed. I guess that’s true unless you are truly one of those hoarder types that make the news because you have 300 cats running around the house amid debris and empty Chinese cartons using the bathtub and the washing machine as a litter boxes. Jean Claude and Koko of course are civilized with Koko showing early signs of being a classy babe. Both provided me with relief the other day after a long stressful time at work. JC of course was typical male and Koko at first was standoffish…but after a time both came to cuddle with me for a bit. A movement of peace…purring.

CCL’s Front Yard Garden
My daughter CatzandAllDatz AKA , CCL(Crazy Cat Lady) has a beautiful front yard garden. As her mom, I am a bit anal when it comes to yards and I must admit I did not share CCL’s vision when early this summer she and a group of the neighborhood children planted the garden. To me the “garden” appeared to be a mishmash of mums, ground plants and flowers. Where, I would ask CCL (often), is the theme? Why didn’t you just put down grass? , I would say each time I paid a visit. Where , I would ask, is the structure? When, I would ask CCL, are you going to put down more mulch? Soon the rain came, the sun did its work and CCL had mulch put down in between the flowers and plants. Now a living piece of art graces my daughter’s front yard. Isn’t life sometimes like that? A series of unseemingly related events comes together with human inspiration and God’s touch and voila! Faith brings us bouquets.

Koko and JC Share Space
Koko appears to be adjusting to life with CCL and Jean Claude. Apparently Koko has a thing for butter. Recently, at CCL’s house she dragged a stick off the counter and across the floor a bit. She and JC also appear to be getting closer as he at least let’s her nestle near him as he sleeps.
Welcome Koko
CCL and I have a new addition to the family. Koko is a pebble grey and brown domestic short hair . She was named by the folks at the Washington Animal Rescue League where we got her. Right now she is visiting me and perhaps inspired by the Olympics she is flying through the house, doing regular balancing acts on the upstairs staircase beam and giving poor Jean Claude fits.
