Late Summer day

 Well, here come, fall.....still summer, but sort of fall.

 Days of cats on still hot pavement.

 Black bacarra still blooms. Can still smell its chocolate scent.

 And the lemonade rose still smells like lemon,though not as many blooms as earlier.

 And Cordelia still holds court. She is even getting along with Spencer and Smokey.This is good.They will sit together and survey. Cats are good at surveying.

 And the pink climbing rose is bright pink.

 The last of the lemonade roses............still standing.

 Bunny and Bo hear the pigeons on the roof. The pigeons like to roost up there all winter. Endless amusement for cats. Endless mess to clean up for us humans.

 Last of the pink climbers, sticking out like sore thumbs.

 And Spencer, cuddled into the warm wood and cement......

 .....and then there's Smokey wondering what he will chase next. And by that point, the sun is setting and we are one day closer to fall.....
