come fall, my breath eases
garden chores relax
cozy becomes theme of the day
sweaters resurface from storage
colors vibrate with final goodbyes
crisp air invigorates
dew dampens pant hems and ankles
caws and honks sing seasonal music
rustles dance through dried sunflowers
zinnias fade and go to seed
pumpkins dangle from spent vines
birds fatten, cats fluff, people bundle
tea and scarves and throws
beckon me to breathe,
embrace
all that is autumn

Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! To the gingers in our lives. Be they weird or be they lovey-dovey, be they hairy and fur-shedding. To all the snugglers, destroyers of the things, sleep-on-your-head kitties. [And all the other things our gingers do!] Celebrating the gingers!

Put the weirdest, funniest, cutest, or scariest thing your ginger has done in the comments below. We will celebrate with you. Or despair. Your choice!

This post has a compilation of the four different gingers I know and love. Three different households, but alas, I’ve never owned (or been owned by) a ginger.

The look. The nap. The ready-to-attack.

Especially the leave-me-alone.

Let’s not forget how helpful they can be!

Ahem. YOU again?

Happy Ginger Day!!
Gingers in order of starring role: Reeses, Peanut, Daisy, Marmalade, Reeses, Marmalade, Daisy, Marmalade
