Weather Watchers.

 Weather Watchers.

 

Ok, the weather forecast says that we might have all kinds of good, cold, wet stuff by Wednesday afternoon. As long as the winds don’t blow us away, that might not matter all that much. Right now, the wind is only blowing at 13 mph. Jennifer said that it was really rocking the big rigs on her way here this morning. And it seemed to her that they were all empty rock haulers with their tailgates flapping in the wind! Scary!

 

Sylvia and Thompson gave Jennifer their usual greeting: licks, jumps, more licks, vocalizations, and lots of snuffing her all over! They were making themselves acquainted with her dogs by proxy. One of her dogs had to go to the vet today. And, of course, it was Luna who gets carsick! Reece did not complain about it, so maybe the windows being down made a difference. Now if Reece can remember to give her the meds, maybe she will feel better soon.

 

We are having some animal crackers for a snack. Sylvia really likes animal crackers. Thompson could care less about animal cookies, but he is rather fond of a FEW kinds of cheese. Who knows why a dog would be picky about cheese?

 

Since the temps are not supposed to get over freezing tomorrow, the hens are going to have to stay in the coop. They have a head of cabbage hanging in the middle coop, so they may need another head in the morning. It would probably freeze, come to think of it. Bleah. Winter is hard! At least we have had some rain and may get some more. Water is totally necessary to this old world.

 

Jennifer bought a plant at Kroger the other day and did not know if it was toxic or not. Well, guess what. Now the plant has to go sit on her desk at work because the cats could die if they nibble on it. Such is life and critters.

 

Something like plants can be so uplifting just to look at, but they can also cause some problems. Lewis and some plants just did not get along. We went to Six Flags Over Texas one summer and had to deal with what felt like an acre of lantana and his allergies without any meds. Now let me tell you, dear hearts, that was truly scary! That park was covered in plants!

 

On her way here this morning, Jennifer had to throw on her brakes and then speed up quickly. The tower to her computer fell over, so now she is in the office trying to see if it is going to boot up. Fingers crossed here.

 

Despite the wind and low temps, it is rather pretty outside. A stupid squirrel climbed the post in front of my window and chattered at me this morning. Those creatures definitely have an attitude! He didn’t exactly use his paws, but flipped his tail at me several times. His thoughts were clear enough to me. Nanny, nanny, boo boo! Hmmm.

 

Jennifer may or may not post tomorrow evening, but be patient. She has plenty to do to keep her busy around here. If nothing else, she will be trying to keep the house warm.

 

May you all rest well and appreciate all the many blessings that God has given us. You are loved.
