Tuesday Ramble

Good morning.  It's a wet one, but thank goodness for a break in the heat.  My biggest problem this morning is how to juggle a cane, an umbrella, and my iced coffee.  This is a time one needs three hands for sure. Had some pretty powerful storms last night,  but let's face it, it took something pretty powerful to not this heat away.

Got my first electric bill  for the summer, and it was up by $60.  Next month should be more expensive because this is been a brutal weekend.  I'm thankful though that I had my AC.  Many had to go without power.  We already had plans to go sit in the car should we lose power, but thankfully we didn't have to.

Last year they came to the lot next door and mowed down the sunflowers.  For what reason I know not.  Just plain meanness I guess because they left all the weeds.  But surprise, surprise.  The sunflowers did not give up that easily.  They are back, and once again reach for the sun.

I wish I could say the same for my kitties.  It's been at least a month now.  I'm hoping the reason they are not coming is that food is more plentiful now in the summer months, and they are okay.  But feral or not, I just can't see a cat nut coming around for treats and water.  I am fearing the worst.  Especially with the brutal heat we just had.  Where are they getting their water from? 

Today I'm off to the Center for computer class and arts and crafts.  I donated most of my paints.  I had plenty of them and really no room to keep them.  I wasn't using them so they were just going to waste. Donating them to the center was a good way to de-clutter and still have use of the stuff.

Have a wonderful day.
