Lazy daze.....

So the Poodle-Dogger ‘n I went for a stroll down the street with Willie leading point....well, Willie always leads point....he’s a very enthusiastic fellow, our Willie....
he runs, he sniffs ‘n he runs again, he chases chickens ‘n pigeons ‘n squirrels ‘n cats....he especially loves cats....
‘course, he also chases leaves ‘n pieces of paper, practically anything that moves...cars, trucks, shadows...
Willie is non-partisan ‘n very democratic if somewhat eclectic in his tastes....
We’ve had a change in the air with a cold front looping down from Alaska....yest’iday, it was summer ‘n t’day is kind’a fallish....that’s okay ‘cuz tomorrow’ll prob’ly bring summer back.....well, Indian Summer anyway.....that’s what we use’ta call it when I was a boy back in faraway yesterdayland....the nights would bring a cooling, the days would be warm ‘n kind’a earthy-crunchy ‘n before y’knew it almost, you’d wake up one morning ‘n there’d be frost on the punkin....that’s how they used to phrase it back in them ‘good ole days of yore’....don’t really happen like that here in Ol Fair Oaks....oh, we might get some frosty mornings in the dead of winter but mainly the weather changes here are kind’a subtle ‘n laid-back, you might say sneaky even...they come like a thief in the night ‘n you wake up thinking there’s something out of place ‘n it takes a moment to realize that someone stole your tent while you were sleeping...(very old Lone Ranger ‘n Tonto joke...you don’t haf’ta laff, a groan’ll do).....
Why, a lot of times you don’t even hear the first rain when it comes, it just sneaks in while you’re sleeping ‘n you wake up to a quiet, drizzling, sneaky northern California rain.....but I digress, the rain ain’t here yet ‘n not likely t’be until sometime around November.....we might get a drop or three but it’s doubtful that we’ll get the ground wet before then.....the forecast is for cool nights ‘n warm days, lots of cruncy leaves underfoot, a long, lazy Indian summer for me ‘n Willie ‘n the Poodle-dogger to stroll around the village......
