It's well past fall here. The cranes are migrating (can't mistake their ridiculous giggles or their silly flight patterns) and the dark-eyed juncos have arrived. Sigh. I would like this time of year more if the leaves stayed on the trees for longer than the first big wind ~ Time to give the trees their final waterings, bring in the hoses and shut off the outside water valves.

"Funny how little triggers set 'things' off." Yes, I've had a trigger of my own recently, but it's OK, I'm going to turn the hosepipe on him. Woohoo! Reply #42. Oct 05 11, 6:20 AM |

Either that, or buy Trigger a Buttermilk all his own. *American cowboy allusion* Reply #43. Oct 05 11, 8:02 AM |

Cranes giggle? Goose gaggle? Canada must be quite noisy this time of year! Well, I'm off to google.... Reply #44. Oct 05 11, 8:04 AM |

My hosing arm is strong but I haven't needed it. Very odd. (Not complaining.) Yes, heard that one - we are super-pious, and our beliefs command us to love all our fellows as long as they think like us. They also command us to love and honour our parents, and to love and cherish our children, for as long as they toe the same line that we toe. Grow up? Who on earth would want to do anything like that? Reply #49. Oct 10 11, 7:38 PM |

Still haven't needed the hosepipe. Just opened the door and said "No. I don't need to. You can get your own." I couldn't believe how easily he gave up. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. Not growing up? That's a relief. Peter Pan's friend, Lesley Reply #51. Oct 12 11, 11:17 AM |

Have I got through? I'd like to think so, but he is notoriously bouncy, so he may spent the next week or so coming up with a new excuse to call - usually a lame newspaper article that's going to be irrelevant or annoying. Was it a bit naughty of him to call, unannounced, after dark? I know a lot of people who won't open the door after dark if they aren't expecting anyone to call. Reply #54. Oct 12 11, 4:48 PM |

We could always add a 'pressure pad' that looks like a doormat and electrically charge it. Not enough to cause physical harm but enough to make one jump back off of the mat (and hopefully turn and leave). Reply #59. Oct 13 11, 6:48 PM |

I like that. *zap* *slam* *eat* Oh no, I can't do that unless I lock myself out. Needs work. I think I'll sleep on it. Pray for dreams, no nightmares. Night! Reply #60. Oct 13 11, 7:33 PM |
