Autumn Explosion

The colors swirl and spin around me everyday. I am able to breath them in as I tilt my face towards the sky. The sun is out but the air is still so cold it stings slightly as it enters my lungs. It has been a beautiful Autumn.

Sadly I have many other obligations that don't allow for much photo time. I have had quite a few gigs this fall. Senior photos, advertising, etc. Unfortunately I don't have the time to take photos that I want to take. Luckily I have accepted that while I adore Autumn, school must always be number one priority. Work is number two. Both are privileges in these trying times.

School is going well. Work is even better. Although every person around me seems to be going through a major life change or a difficult time. It has proven tricky to not take on others problems while still being there for them.

The best news is always saved for last: Jason and I are getting a kitten! My mother found him wandering around outside of her car and they were hoping to find a home for him but that has been unsuccessful. Jason doesn't want to take another kitten to Greenhill(we surrendered one down there that someone had abandoned), and he is in good shape so we will be adopting him!

I am guessing he is about eight weeks old. He is gray with a white spot on his chest and white feet. He has bright green eyes and he is very playful. The difficult part now is getting all of the supplies before he gets here. Then we will have to have him neutered and given all of his shots. I have had so many people helping me sort all of this out including Cathy and Rodney Little who offered to give him the shots and my parents who offered to help pay for some of the expenses and have already bought him a cat carrier.

I want to thank everyone and ask if you have any bits of advice for having a new pet in your home. Training, routines, etc. Also if anyone has any extra cat supplies and is in my area give me a holler. Thanks everyone and I hope you are all doing as well as me.

His name is Ickis:)
