Well now that autumn (Fall) has arrived
she has decided to take up a new 'hobby.'
Whenever the opportunity arises she
chooses to sniff her way around the garden searching for a suitable
"leaf" to add to her collection.
Her hideaway beneath the stairs would
resemble a garden compost heap if it were not for our diligence.
As we stand at the back door she will
emerge from the shrubbery, with a leaf gentle grasped between her
front teeth, and creep past us slowly. I am sure she believes that
if she comes into the house slowly we will not notice that she is
bringing more rubbish in.
