happiness re: the weather

does anyone else notice that it is in the 60s?
i am overjoyed. i mean i don't even care that its overcast and rainy (this is a big deal), because i don't need a coat. Woo Hoo!

last night i stepped outside to clip my claws when i realized that it was an amazing night so i went back upstairs and asked mary if she wanted to take a walk. she did. we did.
it was awesome. we walked around for about an hour or so. what a beautiful night. the ground is wet and the leaves are falling. the street lights glistening. and we just chatted as we walked. then we topped it all off with a few minutes of swinging on the swings at the park next door. it had been way too long since i'd been on a swing. Weeee!

"its a great day to be alive"
country songs have seemed to define my last few days. but travis tritt was running through my head last night and this morning. my mind then traveled back to the family houseboat trip from a few years ago. this was one of the theme songs that year, thanks to wendy and todd. so a shout out to you guys. and a shout out to mr. tritt.

today is hugging me and i like it.
