Yeppers – Friday approacheth! This is our last chance before the last day of the week to get something constructive done so we can say “gosh this has been a busy week”. Well, to be truthful it kinda has been. Mom had a little “whoopsie” with the garage door and the car (we won’t talk about that though), I did a lot of STUFF in preparation for the weekend’s activities at Cat Scouts, Mom read TWO books, Dad went flying………….see? Busy week.
Today I help Mom do laundry. “Help” is purrrhaps not the right word……….I do more “observing/snoopervising” than actually helping. I mean how can a small cat drag sheets down two flights of stairs to the laundry room? Can’t be done by THIS cat…..so I’ll watch and snoop.
July is usually a very hot and steamy month here but just as most of you have reported, our weather here has been nothing short of WEIRD for weeks on end. In the 60s one day, in the 90s the next……….driving rain or steamy humidity and sun……..but it is what it is………and we have A/C and a shady front porch and woods. We can’t complain (well, I can complain but my parents can’t).
Today I can hear about 87 mowers mowing all around the community. We’re getting good at recognizing who we can hear – different mowers make different sounds………”Oh, Pete’s got his zero radius out” or “Warren sure can zip that John Deere around his yard like a race car!”……………I think everyone is mowing because they know we’re supposed to have more rain coming. That usually gets people fired up. We’re gonna wait. Mom mowed Sunday and it’s only Wednesday – by Friday we won’t be able to see out the windows because the grass will be that high. Fine with me….you know I love to eat the stuff – I’m part goat.
Hope you’re not TOO hot where you are – Europe is frying and the USA out West is just about doing the same……….maybe they should change the term to “GLOBAL FRYING” instead of “GLOBAL WARMING” ???
We are having weird weather here too – can you believe it is HUMID here in southern California? Not as bad as you guys on the East Coast, but still enough to make my human’s hair look weird. MOL

Our weather has been odd like yours, yesterday the humidity was awful, but today the air is much better.

What is it with the weather? We had bad storms last night and tornado warnings and that was after an inch and a quarter of rain in an hour yesterday morning. Three more inches last night. I can’t get out of the house to take pictures or sit under the Oaks. The skeeters! So Mom had a “whoopsie” with the car and garage door… I am sorry but that makes me giggle. Wondering who won… the car or the garage door. All’s good as long as your Mom is okay!

It is so true! This weather and Mother Nature doesn’t know what she wants to do this year. Are we going to have rain every day of the Summer? It sure seems like it here. Every day – some time along the way – we get thunderstorms. The loud noise might make some of us anipals jump here at the Hotel Thompson… not saying which ones – shivers. And I agree with you about the different sounds of the lawn mowers. That’s a hoot. We can recognize them too. Hope you have a great day cousin! XOXO – Bacon

oh that garage door saga sounds most interesting. When Mom was cleaning out her parents house in 2013…she parked in their 2 car garage…then when it was time to leave the door on the side she was parked in would not open. Thank goodness she had a small CR-V Honda. She had to go forward and back 87 million times until she was able to get the car on the other side of the garage so she could get out. MOL MOL no pictures but she did a re-enactment on our blog.

Sammy, Mom meant to write back to Mom Pam to tell her that she did that same garage thing,,,twice. Once when she was about 20 year’s old in her dad’s huge Dodge and once just a couple years ago, though she had a bit of a spin on it. She left the back door of the car (her stepmom’s) open and tried to back out of the garage! Raining here now at 75 degrees. We are supposed to get 1 1/2 inches by tomorrow night!
