@hawkdon I almost expected that you were gonna say you made biscuits and sausage gravy again. Good thing you didn't because I know you hate to see a grown woman cry.
@debodun You can tell when it's gonna sNOw because it doesn't just feel like it, it smells like it
It's gonna get downright cold here starting Tuesday, but it for sure won't smell (or feel) like sNOw. The Farmer's Almanac sez we're in for it this wiinter, though. I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that either it will sNOw this year or it won't. You can take my prediction to the bank
@hollydolly More rain? More? Rain? You and
@horseless carriage need to invest in water wings.
I'm home, but y'all knew that because I'm posting.
Sir got there so early this morning that I figured he must have spent the night. Between us, the morning went smoothly, and I even had time to clean the oven. Yup. Cleaned. The. Oven! I've been trying to get that done for weeks, but we never get it turned off for the day in time for it to cool down. It's all clean and shiny now. By the time I get back to work on Tuesday morning, it won't be clean and shiny anymore
The oven: it's big, like walk-in big. Whenever I start cleaning it, I think of Hansel and Gretl. I was busily scouring away when I heard Sir calling for the deli manager to come help him close a heavy door. Wut wo! They stood there laughing. I backed out in a hurry
Can y'all believe that I actually made it through the day? For real I did! Yay me.
Tomorrow's a clean-up-the-garden day. I started on it a little bit ago but just got too tired. Gotta check with DD to see if she has things to do in the morning. If so, I'll ask her to take me to the garden center for maintenance stuff; if not, guess I'll have to bite the bullet and go this afternoon. I'd really rather rest my bones.
The friend we had lunch with yesterday is on her way to the county shelter to fetch a dog. Her birthday was Friday. Her dog died Friday
DD was scrolling through the county shelter's website this morning and saw a dog with the same name as our friend's dad and decided that was a sign so she sent the pic to our friend. Yup. A sign for sure.
She lives alone just on the edge of a kind of dicey area and said she felt very vulnerable without a dog to bark when needed and a dog to welcome her home, sleep on her bed... This one is reported to be friendly and loves kids and other furry animals. Our friend has no kids, but she does have four kitties. And...the notes about him say that "his days are numbered" because they have so many dogs that they're having to euthanize10 a day
Doggie gets a person and a home; friend gets a furry pal. Win-win.
7:30 I hear the mail truck in the neighborhood. They only deliver Amazon boxes on Sundays and I was tracking one, so I knew it was for me. Got the "delivered" notice. Drat, it wasn't delivered to MY porch! 
Decided to track the truck down... nope, not around any longer. Maybe he's still at the PO parking lot switching vehicles. Nope.
