Jake had some fun tonight

Maxine, Jakes doggie friend came over today for a visit...Jake and her started playing together as soon as she was let out of her kennel. Needless to say Jake is tired. Poor Jake doesn't have the energy to play for too long but they have fun together.

Jake and her like to race each other inside everytime that they go back in from being let out.
Max also likes to take off with Jake's toys or Gollum's (which makes Gollum mad.)

Well I am going to rap this blog up. Things are winding down here in Monkville.

Fall

Fall is in full swing here. The leaves on the trees have turned and are quickly falling with the wind and the rain that we have been getting. I think fall is by far my favorite time of the year.
The settling in of winter and the crisp feel in the air.

Jake has been enjoying the collet weather too. Gollum well he likes it to be 70 and no colder lol. However Jake does like his sweaters on a chippy morning.

Words escape me

Sometimes words escape me. I seem to be suffering a bit of a writter's block. I have been really bad about not updating this blog I know. I guess it's partly because I want to give readers something worth reading. I have had a few ideas kind of rolling around in my head and thought today is the day I will hash out the ideas and get it down on paper...WRONG. SO I thought I would just write about having writter's block. :D 

I have been busy making greeting cards for my grandma for Chirstmas (She doesn't have internet so I don't have to worry about her seeing this.) I also have apainting in the works. I feel like I have way too many creative outlets. Is that even possible? I like to write, paint, play music, but I feel like I go in waves. I go in waves I guess sometimes focusing on writing while other times I focus on art and music. I wish I could be more balanced with it, like do a little bit each day. Or prehaps I'm just overthinking it and I need to just go with the flow? 

I had better get off here, but I will leave you with a poem I wrote today:

Autumn leaves

By Beth B. Monk

The leaves are changing,

The Autumn wind teases the trees,

and swirls leaves to the ground.

The old North wind is settling in 

for an exstended stay.

The Apples have rippend,

Mum flowers are in bloom.

As winter slowly starts to creep in.

Yes there's a change in the air.

Morning

Morning is here already and I'm ready for a nap.
Lol I like sleep way too much.
I am hoping this coffee helps me to get going but I'm not counting on it.
