Well, it’s this special. And unusual. Seeing Quint and Tessa close together on Dad’s bed is normal but seeing Viola mere feet away and taking up Quint’s fort blanket, no less, . . . is not normal.
Let’s see. Mom’s upstairs vacuuming. Okay, that could be part of it, though Viola’s not afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Mom turned off the upstairs ceiling fan for the season, a fan Viola is a, uh, fan of. That could be part of it. Or could it be that all upstairs cat blankets are in the laundry?
: : Ding! Ding! Ding! : : We think we have a winner here.
And just as soon as Mom called out that the blankets were coming out of the warm dryer . . .
. . . Viola headed back upstairs to her favorite spots now adored with fresh clean bedding . . .
. . . while Quint and Tessa snuggled even closer on Dad’s bed.
“No need for warm blankets down here, Mom. We have each other!”

Viola helps us welcome October at long last. We’re fans of October, well, the 2nd half mostly when cooler weather, misty fog and the crisp smell of apples and wood smoke greet us each day. The 1st half of the month is much like September with the only exception being dusk comes earlier and the leaves think about turning color.
It’s this time of year when Mom remembers, as a young adult, visiting the state fair each year alone, where she once lived and looking forward to eating caramel apples and walking through the farm animal/agriculture/quilt buildings. Even now, some three decades later, she still thinks of that time of her life, when attendance to get into the fair cost just three dollars and those caramel apples were a buck. She saved hard earned dollars for months to go every October and she’s certain she’ll never forget those visits.
On the other hand,
. . . Viola remembers to include a favorite toy with Mom’s autumn-y decor because why not? We love that she’s never too far from her favorite green toy.
So, welcome October. We’re all happy to see you come along at last!
