Flocks of geese are heading north again tonight. They could be in for a surprise when the weather turns cold and rainy again next Wednesday. They really ought to get online and visit some weather web sites. But I guess geese can't afford the mobile phone charges. Plus they have no pockets to keep the phones in. I don't think I'd like to be a goose. I do enjoy hearing them, though.

I also enjoy hearing the frogs, who are still being quite vocal though the rain is long gone. The bucket that catches drips of rain from the leak on my back porch had about three inches of water in it two days ago, and it has now completely evaporated, so I would imagine the frog habitat is drying quickly too. I do hope they can hang on for another week, when the streams and ponds will probably get replenished.

While it was still mild today, it wasn't what I'd call warm. I only had a few windows open and only for an hour or so. It's supposed to get warmer again by Sunday, so I'll be able to air the house out again then. It was nice having it open for a couple of days, and I look forward to having a couple more warm days early next week even if the warmth makes the weeds in my yard go crazy. They are popping up like, well, weeds, and I definitely don't look forward to pulling them, but it will have to be done soon. I don't want the feral cats to be getting nettles, burrs, and foxtails in their fur.

Tonight I'm stuffed with avocados. One of the stores had them for 25 cents each Sunday and I bought eight. I fear the five I've got left will rot before I can devour them. Clearly I overbought, but I couldn't resist such a deal. I wonder if geese like avocados?

Here it is after eleven o'clock and I'm still unfed. My schedule is so deranged. I blame the unseasonable warmth, which led me to spend much more time outdoors this afternoon than I would have had it been chilly. Because of that I got behind on my Internet, and now I'm scrambling to catch up. Mmmm, scrambling. Too bad I don't have any eggs on hand.

I'm not sure I'll be able to arrange to get to the stores tomorrow after all, and that means I won't get the cheap kitty litter, and that means I'll end up spending money on the cat that I'd much rather spend on myself. Portia had better be very nice to me, because she owes me. Not only for buying kitty litter for her, but for cleaning out the box after she uses it.

Well, thinking about the litter box has made me marginally less hungry. Maybe I'll just make this another popcorn night, although I do still have avocados that need to be used up before they rot, and avocado doesn't really go with popcorn. Maybe I'll just eat an avocado with beer now and have popcorn with more beer later. As long as I get beer I guess there's no reason to worry about what I'm eating.

Now I will go watch Colbert. Maybe he has something to say, because I sure don't.
