Hi Kathy and thank you.
Yep, tomorrow be Monday. : )
Hi,there, radu! Glad you had some warm and sunny! Give stuff a chance to grow after the nice rains you’ve gotten! Hope it doesn’t get too warm for you. With all the moisture, the humidity could be a killer.
I think the warmest it got today was 89...but it’s still 79. So, yes, it’s pretty darn warm. We expect a cool-down soon, but not much of one. Maaaaaaybe a bit of rain on Wednesday, unless they’ve changed the prediction again. Our humidity, on the other hand, was a whopping 17%. LOL!
Yeeeeeeaaah, I’d say it’s pretty toasty down there. I hope you do get the cool-down AND the rain.
We were glad to see the sun and some warmth. The corn in the fields looks a little wimpy after the chilly past few days and needs some warmth. They’re talking mid-80s this week and no rain until Thurs. so that should make it happy.
It was 68 degrees this afternoon when I went to visit Aunt Clara and it felt quite nice.
Humidity is a way of life for us. I think I’d shrivel up like a prune in 17% humidity. LOL!
Indeed, sometimes I FEEL like a prune. There isn’t enough lotion in town to make my skin feel less like snakeskin. LOL! Not to mention the permanently chapped lips. I have found that Blistex comes the closest to helping tone that down.
Awesome that it’s warming there. In a few days your corn should look happy and strong! Are the outside kitties able to go out some now?
Thank you!

We’ve had a few summers that were dry enough to make the skin dry. Not as dry as there but dry nonetheless.
We tend to be a bit dry during winter and I go through a lot of lotion then.
The corn doesn’t look really bad right now, just obviously not happy with the chilly temps. We’ll dip into the mid 40s again tonight, then have warmer nights. And with the sun and heat this week, those leaves will be standing tall again.
I’ve been letting the outside kitties got out for a little while, though I kept them in when Shags came back. Now that he’s been tested and we know he’s healthy, they go out again. But they still come in at night.
How long before he gets fixed? Of course, he’d have a real hard time finding a mate at your house! LOL!
I heard a Coo-coo bird while watching the Hungarian eagle nest. We heard those every spring in Germany. Then I knew where they got the concept for coo-coo clocks. LOL!
DUH! :)
I plan to call tomorrow to make an appointment to have him fixed Thurs. I’ll try to get Arabelle in the same day because I don’t want her to go into heat. Not good to spay if they’re in heat and she’s old enough now. Her brothers can wait until next week to go in.
I had the Hungarian cam up watching the sunrise but had the volume down while watching the news. Dang. Missed the cuckoo bird.
Oh, shoot! I can’t even spell cuckoo. LOL! So much for me being “spellchecker”. :) I wonder if that’s the hoo-hoo bird you’ve been hearing.
I had forgotten that those nearly grown babies were due for their date with the vet. Poor things.
No, the cuckoo and the “hoo-hoo” bird are different. I’m pretty sure the “hoo-hoo” bird is some kind of dove. It’s call is similar to a mourning dove but it’s LOUD. Really echoes through the forest.
Yes, Lessa’s kiddos are finally old enough for “the trip”. They’re small cats and don’t look their age, especially Arabelle. She is so tiny! A midget kitty and that makes her cuter than she already is. We had another cat like that for 16 years but lost her a couple of years ago. Everyone thought she was about 5 mos. old. Arabelle looks about 4 mos. and won’t get much larger, if larger at all.
I used to have a small cat. I read that she was called a "cobby" because of her size.
Missy...what a sweetheart she was.
Good evening, mountainlion....you make a good point.
I've heard the term "cobby" but didn't know it had something to do with size. Learn something new!
Missy was adorable. BIG round eyes.
This is Sapphire, taken when she was 15. She must have liked the smell of daffodils because she sat among them a lot each spring.
We still miss her a lot. We called her Beep because she didn't meow - - she beeped. LOL
Well she liked to sit in them because they complemented her gorgeous amber eyes!
Missy was such a sweety. She live about that long, too. I still miss her.
