Subtle Changes (and Suggestion of More)

It's True.

There've been some Big Changes around here recently.

Some of them have been pretty Dramatic
and Overnight.

Like 90° Hot Sunny Dry Weather one day
(Panting helps.)

and
55° Damp Cloudy Misty Weather the next.

But we cope.
Just fine.

We simply snuggle up under a Blanket.
(There are some real Advantages to being CuddleBugs.)

There have also been some Subtle Changes going on
Day-to-Day.

It seems with the Changing of the Seasons
from Summer to Autumn
We notice Little Things around us.

For Instance

Outside in the New Garden
There's one Rose Shrub that gives a Good Example
About how slow and gradual (and beautiful) Change can be.


One or two blossoms still poke their heads through New Buds
While gobs of Rose Hips form from the old ones
Turning from pale green to deep dark red.

Moma says that later this fall or early winter
She'll make Rose Hip Tea from them.
(We're sure at least some of us will get to taste it.)

Speaking of Tea
There's been another Changeover.

Moma's drinking more Hot Tea during the day

and Old Soul is noticing some changes in the China.

From Summer Patterns

To Autumn Ones

(Our Dinner Bowls don't seem to change.  Hmmm.  Don't know why.)

But we do hear Moma mutter that it makes her happy
to bring out the different season patterns
(And we think that soon we'll be smelling good aromas
comin' from the oven.)

Even the Wheelies are Changing with the Seasons
From Pale Greens

To Dark Reds

We know what that means

There are prob'ly some Changes coming for Us

Like
One
More
Grooming
so
We
Can
Grow
Out
for
the
Long
Winter.


We'd better get more Blankets and Our Jammies out Now.
We think we're gonna need them.


(Happy New Season, Everyone.  Wherever you are!)
