Hooray for Fall!

Hi everyone! Monday was the autumnal equinox, so it’s officially fall now, hooray! I had some salted pumpkin seeds for a snack this week… 

Made some peanut butter noodles and veggies… 

Finally tried the carrot-cucumber salad from Food for Dissertating, which was super delicious… 

Served with white rice and Gardein’s mandarin orange crispy chick’n

And improvised a green bean casserole with pole beans from my garden. It turned out alright, but I used too much creamy mushroom soup, so I’ll probably cook some pasta tonight to add to the leftovers… 

Leela was not happy about going back to the vet so soon after her wellness exam, but she was having mouth pain and not eating as much as she usually does, so we brought her in yesterday morning. The vet found a sore in her mouth at the back of her upper left jaw, so she was given antibiotic and steroid injections.

We have to give her prednisolone for two weeks and she’s scheduled for a recheck on October 10, but she’s already eating a lot better and seems to be experiencing less discomfort, so we’re optimistic! She joined me for some meditating this morning… 

The praying mantis decided to switch it up, moving to hang out with my pepper plant and the kale…

And the little bun says hello… 

Here are two pictures I took of the French Creek in Phoenixville, the first from the low bridge (Main Street), the second from the high bridge (Gay Street), both looking west… 

A squirrel sketch I did this week… 

And sweet Daisy, taking a selfie, hehe… 

Peace. :)
