Where was I?…zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I can’t seem to write out a single complete or coherent thought these days much less a chapter in any of my books. All I feel like doing is sleep or eat.

I try to read. My eyelids get heavy. I jolt awake when my Kindle slaps my leg.

I think I am awake and wonder who is snoring only to find it is me and the dog next to me.

A little bit of everything

     So far we’ve had a decent summer here. Yes, some days were hot but nothing like what we suffered through the last two years.

     These cool nights we are having are fabulous. They make for good sleeping without the constant drone of the AC. They also save us some money too.

     Yesterday, I had to run my car over for inspection and its first oil change. Yes, its first one, it finally had enough mileage. 

     At the same time, The Curmudgeon had a neurologist appointment. I usually take him to his appointments but had to miss this one. He’s scheduled for another MRI and a blood test.

     Looks like next week The Curmudgeon’s friend will stop over and get the whole house fan set up for us. I’m so glad.

     Lucy and Gavin enjoy each other although at times she gets to be too much for the old boy. That’s when he asks for someone to shut him in his crate with the help me look.

The Daddy says I’m special

HPIM4046Daddy put a new bit of bling on my fancy Collar my World collar.

Can you see it?

It says ‘Special Police’ on it!

Does this mean I am a police dog now?

Watching wolves on TV …

Yesterday, The Curmudgeon was watching a program on wolves.

It caught Lucy’s Attention.

Miscellaneous

   Happy 41 st Anniversary Dear Curmudgeon! May we have many more!

     So sad to hear that James Garner died, he was always a favorite of mine.

     I was going to change the theme on my blog today but they’ve changed it so that you can’t preview your own blog in the new theme. Not fun. I do like to see what it will look like before I make a change. Worst thing was having to change back when I didn’t like the new choice. What a mess having to redo everything.

     No hummingbird today, how disappointing.

     I’m so glad I bought cherries this week.  They taste so good! Between The Curmudgeon and me they are going fast. How can we possibly resist them? Even the pups are mooching them.

     Lucy and Gavin are crazy dogs. That is all I will say about that. Lunacy reigns in this household.

      You all have a good one!

A mish mosh

     We had quite a storm pass through here last night. Lots of rain and enough thunder and lightning to cause little Lucy a bit of consternation.

     Fortunately, Lucy likes to cuddle and that gave her enough security to get past the noise. I blame the idiots around here with the fireworks over the last couple of months for her reaction.

     Anyone have any idea why my sage and pepper plants are looking puny? they are in pots and were looking okay at first but the last few days have not looked well. (Yes, I have watered them.) Makes me wonder because, right next to them, my tomato plants look wonderful.

     You all have a good one!

Wrestling with Daddy

I like to wrestle with my Daddy.

He likes to wrestle with me.

HPIM4002It’s the licking of his hair he doesn’t care for, hehehe!

Some little girl was enjoying the yard…

To AC or not to AC… if he’s warm we AC

     We had the house opened up all day. It was so nice to have fresh air and no AC drone. Now the AC is back on because The Curmudgeon is warm. I was warm earlier and he griped when I turned the ceiling fan up a notch.

     I’m feeling a double standard here.

     I am so willing to pay someone to cut all the vines down in the back corner of the yard. I am exhausted from filling two trash barrels full, and there’s so much more to do.
