A seriously rainy day today as in it started yesterday, continued through the night and all day today.
All day!
AND…midafternoon, my temperature gauge read 39.7F. Yep…about 8 degrees from freezing.
BUT.
I am NOT complaining.
Early June was dry and warm-hot.
We needed some moisture.
Although it seems like we are catching up in a BIG fell swoop, well – if we don’t float away, no catastrophic flooding and no mudslides, I will take it!
All of these photos are from Sunday.
We had some sun breaks.
…cool sun breaks.
My favorite kind!
Auggie on the hunt.
Serious business.
Grasshopper??? or whatever the things are that are around now…
But today, Monday, Auggie got a bird…a baby bird. And he brought it into the house. It was still alive.
The house rules regarding hunting are:
Eat what you kill, i.e. no trophy hunting
Anything brought into the house must be COMPLETELY dead.
Auggie and I had words.
It remains to be seen how effective those words were.
There has been some ongoing discussion.
Back to Sunday.
Pretty.
Lupins!!
Tidbits.
Sunday.
Thursday night and Friday morning were a bit soggy.
But, mid and late afternoon Friday…Sun breaks!
We were very fortunate all day long in being able to take walks during the sun breaks/dry time. The woods was wonderfully wet but rain was not falling on our heads.
Later…some fun with Bear and Auggie:
Yes, it is Friday…Friday the 13th! But here on “The Road Home” it is time for fun.
Another Simon’s Cat video.
I’m a Subscriber to Simon’s Cat videos and this morning came a short to celebrate 3,000,000 …THAT is 3 MILLION subscribers to Simon’s Cat videos on YouTube. As I watched the celebratory short, there were some “trailers” and I saw the Screen Grab bit. I HAD to share.
A while ago, my mom told me that who knows how…their tv got set to PetTV. She told me that she heard this beautiful music and found the TV set to PetTV.
After viewing the below, I remembered and laughed and thought to share – SO funny and fun!
The house has been shown twice.
Twice to real estate agents previewing for out of state clients.
Phht!
The first time, the agent was 15 minutes early and it was a bit of a fiasco getting Bear and Auggie situated.
Today, I got us all in the motorhome 45 minutes beforehand.
Auggie is not 100% comfortable in the motorhome and he panicked a bit when the car came in. He has not yet found a “safe” spot in the motorhome.
But after the car parked and the person disappeared, he did fine exploring about…until the person reappeared.
We have work to do.
Bear was on the dash and mostly quiet so I think ultimately that will help Auggie, but we need to practice.
After, we all tumbled out and enjoyed a late afternoon that was cool and a little blustery.
We relaxed…
…mostly.
Finally – the Rhubarb…not a lot but I think enough for a small batch of Rhubarb Chutney.
Cool cat.
VERY cool cat!
Cool and relaxed Bear!
Crackers.
Rosemary Garlic Crackers.
Yum.
Week End.
