HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY SUPER NEW MOON (FRIDAY)
I hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful, happy week. It's almost autumn, and night is coming earlier now. I'm seeing nature signs that indicate it's going to be a harsh winter here.
Happy Birthday LINDA. Er . . . is that you? I don't recognise you LOL!
That's why I was worried, Rosy! ;-) LOL!! (I do have to prune my face occasionally, but at least its blonde fluff!) My OH has chopped vast amounts off the apple tree, again. He did major surgery on it this time last year, but it tried to grow itself back again. Whilst he was doing that, I attacked the ironing, and neither of us noticed that Bonnie had been busily digging the biggest hole in our lawn, ever. The trouble with this is that although its easily filled in, she then finds it nice & soft to come back to, to dig again, later <sigh>
I also rang sis in law for a supportive chat. She is very level headed normally but is low just now. Thankfully she is booked to go for a nice day out on a boat trip on the canal, on Sunday.
Hoping that things are alright at OGs.
Couldn't believe my eyes this morning, first time we've had a little visitor like this in all the years I've lived here. Put a little catfood out and seemed to like it. Last one is of it disappearing into the bushes.

Lynette: How on earth did you get those photos so big? (Love hedgehogs!) :-)
Lindybird: Grow a beard and you could get a job in a circus. :-)
I've been frothing at the mouth a bit today. Large trucks and shredders arrived at the house across the way (owned by the wretched landlord) and started pruning bits off a large Chinese Elm on the property. They were apparently hired by the utility company to keep trees away from power lines to avoid possible risk of downed lines and potential fires during high winds. So they pruned and pruned - and pruned some more and pretty soon it was obvious they weren't stopping. The supervisor showed up and I asked him why they were taking down the entire tree. He said they'd contacted the owner of the house (who doesn't live in this neighborhood) to tell him they'd be pruning it back from the power lines. He apparently told them to take the whole tree out, that it was cheaper than having to prune it every year. What a load of rubbish! The idiot has pruned it just once (on the city's orders) since we' moved here in 2005 and that was last year when the previous tenants reported him to the city for all kinds of issues. So now there's a gaping big hole where this lovely tree (well it would've been had anyone taken care of it) used to be. Grrrrr.
It's Labor Day weekend here; the last unofficial weekend of summer, which is still going strong. Schools are back or about to go back into session, etc...
Take care all.
