Hey there, Kahy.
No rain at all today. It really doesn’t look like we’ll get much the next few days either. What rain there is wil be north and west of us .... as usual.
I noticed it was awfully hazy up there. I didn’t realize it was smoke. That’s not good.

Thanks for the heads up. He wasn’t doing anything when I last checked. I’ve been enjoying the “dance” in the skies over Manitoba.

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.
Here are some pics from Wichita Ridge yesterday. Gizmo and I had a great time out there.
How's everyone doing this morning?

You and Gizmo must have covered some ground at Wichita Ridge. He looks a bit tuckered out in the last pic. :-)
We finally cooled off a touch. It was still hot yesterday but not oppressively so.

Yes he was. It was a fun walk though. We walked through the campground and the park.
We do have storms in the forecast today and this evening. We'll see what happens.

Glad you had a good time, and good weather for your romp.
Maybe you’ll have better luck getting some rain than we will. There’ll be rain in TN but not in this area of it. We’ll be lucky to get a brief pop-up shower here.
I just hope your storms aren’t too rough.

I haven’t seen anything in chat at the airport cam so didn’t know there were any fires in the area. I thought the haziness might just be high humidity. I did look it up though. It appears the smoke is blowing over from wildfires in Siberia! You’re probably going to have that “ick” for a few weeks. :-(
Sleep well. I hope tomorrow’s a less stressful day.

My student changed the time of his lesson because of a baseball practice, and it cut my day in half.
So no adventures on Blue yesterday. I’m going out today though. :-)

We are soooo excited!
The weekend is almost here!
Do you have some fun plans made?
We don't. But that IS our plan!
Being lazy on the weekend is a must.
Besides, it's too hot to do much. Ugh!
I'm still waiting for some coolness.
All y'all have a GREAT Friday Eve!
((((hugs))))
