The grandkids have been here this weekend. We fired up the hot tub last night. It's been so warm recently, it didn't take much to heat it up. It felt so good, melting away all the aches and pains. We had no trouble getting the kids to sleep. Dd #1 has been working on a paper she has to turn in on Monday, so with the kids not fighting bedtime, and sleeping soundly, it gave her time to work on it.

On an unrelated note, we (he) should never have taught the dog to ring the cowbell on the front door when she wants to go out.

Yep, we humans think that would be a good thing. Bell rings a few of times a day right? No more accidents waiting for the oblivious staff to open the door. What could be better, what could go wrong?

We thought about rigging up a "I want to go out (to the enclosed porch)" bell or something. Thought better of it knowing how often Checkers and Rascal sit in the window waiting to be let out, often not more than 5 or 10 minutes since they last came in.

Checkers learned to "knock" on the window to come back in, Christofur has as well. Rascal just sits there waiting and making her near silent meow. Guess which ones get back in quickly?

Mmm, bacon sandwiches.
Making them cinnamon roll waffles reminded me of those tator tot, bacon, cheese, waffle sandwiches we made awhile back. Think that'll be next weekend's breakfast

Woke up this morning and said WHAT IS THAT BRIGHTNESS OUTSIDE? NO! WAIT! IT's THE SUN!It's kind of like that old "Camp Granada" Or Hello Mudder Hello Father song.

Missouri is a miserable mud slogged, cold gloomy place. No sun, no warmth oh wait, the sun is out. Birds are singing, never mind!

I actually house broke our border collie using the 'door bell' method, or rather she house broke herself that way. She was a hard nut to crack when it came to house breaking. Badly abused when she was dumped on our street, if you even yelled at her she would turn into a traumatized mess so all I could do was gently scold her and take her outside when an accident happened. She loved being outside and discovered over the Christmas holiday that she could nose the bells hanging on the back door and I would open the door for her. Bingo, the light bulb switched on. She is 14 years old now and will still ring that bell, sometimes to the point that we have to take them down from the door.

Yep we are well trained also.

Did bacon sandwiches for breakfast. Need to get out and work on the coops this morning since the sun is out.

Enjoy the Sun!
