Anjanet, you, your family and your pup will be in my thoughts today.
It was warm and sunny yesterday, but the winds were ridiculously strong -- tipping over deck chairs and trash containers. Beside one of the tipped containers was another that had filled with water (though I find that puzzling since it hasn't rained in forever) and remained upright.
I noticed something, or rather somethings, floating in the murky water. I used a broken branch (plenty of those with all the wind) to lift one out of the water. I was horrified to see that it was a bloated, dead mouse. All of them -- and there were at least half a dozen -- were bloated, dead mice. I've never come across anything like this before. A mouse suicide pact? Late Halloween prank? Disgusting, in any case.
The warm temps will begin to cool after today, so I hope I can motivate myself to get outdoor work done. Problem is, I've started reading a GREAT book that I can hardly put down.
BTW, my computer -- like all things technological -- has decided not to play nicely sometimes. It will allow me to "like" posts, but for the last couple of days, won't always allow me to respond. I sneaked up on it this morning, and so far, so good.
