Sexton, seems like everybody I know gives their ailing pets boiled chicken and broth. I've never cooked food for pets and can't imagine doing so but that seems to be the thing these days. I hope Boomer holds steady or better for a long time.
Oh yuk, Kat, I also can't imagine having to do state taxes. It's all I can do to get the federal ones done! Hope you don't run into any snags.
Wilde Woman, I'm sure glad your windows did NOT break. I had that happen in a storm once, shattered glass all over my bed (thankful I wasn't in it at the time). I wouldn't know how to handle something like that now. Anyway, so glad you didn't need to.
Robin, I don't know why my mind went to the only excitement I could think of for your long afternoon of opening the door for people--that would be if someone with mal-intent tried to get in.
I hope that did NOT happen! Better to be bored.
Squirrel, I think I remember when you got new pumps. They seem to have served you well. But still, it must be stressful to have to keep an eye on it through all the heavy rains you get there.
Poirot, that must be one tough thermometer you have, to withstand all the weather you've had and to keep on working. I don't know if I've ever seen a stand-up one. Maybe that's what I should get. I don't have a good way to hang mine so I can easily see it from inside the house.
Sounds like the warm/hot weather has spread all across Texas today. My temperatures have been like Sexton's and we're way far apart. It's in the 80s* here right now and sunny with very little breeze. Really beautiful but it felt kinda hot when I went out earlier, the first day this year I've noticed it feeling that summery kind of hot enough to remind me of what's to come.
I haven't done a lot today. Wore myself out yesterday going to two towns, shopping, etc. I did finally finish up all the laundry today except for putting sheets from my bed in the dryer, which I need to do right now. I hope all of you start to get nicer weather soon.
