It's fall time and the living is easy.

My extended weekend has been relaxing.  Most of yesterday was spent reading The Help.  By far, this was the best book I've read in many, many months.  It was excellent!  I didn't want it to end.  I highly recommend it to anyone out there who is looking for a good book to read.  After reading the book, I googled and sure enough, it's being made into a movie!

I didn't read my entire day away.  Brinkley had a checkup at the doctor for his chronic ear infection.  He's got new meds and seems happier already.  We'll see how it turns out.  I also picked up my next book at the library - Marlee Matlin's biography, I'll Scream Later.

I attempted to bake bread.  I misread the recipe and then decided I better wing it and see if anything resembling bread would come of it.  It didn't work so swell.  Only part of the bread loaf was salvageable.  Drat!

Brinkley and I enjoyed our lazy Tuesday today by going for a walk.  I snapped a few photos of the beautiful fall leaves along the way!  We have had an awesome fall!  And there are still many trees that are green so hopefully fall still has a few weeks to go before it disappears into the freezing chill of winter.

While I watched Gilmore Girls this afternoon, I made some doggie biscuits for the first time.  A little wheat flour, sunflower seeds, water, eggs, and oil and I have 15 good sized biscuits for Brinkley! He was running low so I thought it was about time I try my hand at doggie treats.  It was fun.  His little trout shaped treats were approved by him.  He hauled one around for a few minutes before scarfing it down!  Maybe I can make some extra cash by making gourmet doggie treats!
