It's fall here, and there's a chill in the air, so Terry has had the fireplace going a few times in the last few days, and we've discovered that CJ is totally enamored with the fireplace! As soon as Terry lit it, CJ immediately went over and plopped down in front of it.


Looks like the same picture, but his head is facing a different direction, following the movement of the flames. He seemed to be fascinated with the flames.


He seemed to want to almost crawl right in - thank goodness for the screen! - so I pulled him away and put him on his favorite chair. Sneaky little guy waited until I went upstairs and then went right back to the fireplace, but at least he was a little bit away from it this time, so I left him there. Eventually he must have gotten too hot because he did move, he just didn't move soon enough to please me. I felt his fur and it was hot to the touch so at least he realized he was hot.

Here are a few pics I took without the flash. I thought they turned out kind of neat so I thought I'd share.






(somehow the tulips don't really add anything to ambiance of these pictures )
