Summer's end, and settling in for the winter.

We closed up the cottage on the 16th; and so another summer draws to a close. I took only a few pictures on the trip, and here they are:

Not a great shot, but it was a lovely sunset, and the last one we would be seeing up there for a while.  Taken on the Friday night as we headed up to the lake.

On our way home, we paused for a moment at Mud Lake.  I'm always a bit verklempt on the last day up there; I miss the place and am always anxious to go back, come springtime.

And now, a little insight into our Saturday and Sunday mornings, where we sip coffee and play on our respective computers.  The Boarder has claimed the top of the loveseat recliner as his territory.

We had him, Jezebel and Snaps all to the V-E-T on Saturday morning, and I'm pleased to report that all are well.  I'd worried we would have a hard time with Onyx, and warned Dr.Al that he had a reputation as a biter, but there were no problems.  Onyx was a perfect gentleman, and enjoyed the treats he received as a reward.

Update on Snaps fitting in....

Just a little proof that the kitties are finally starting to settle down and live in something approaching harmony. Okay, I exagerrate; they are nowhere near harmonious, unless"yowling in unison" can somehow be thought of as harmony. Things are slowly improving, though.

Everyone except Stitches...who has eaten and ran!



Jezebel would like to have some of what's left on that plate.





I'll just help myself!
