What a chilly, damp day outside. Yea!! I heard the rain hitting my window last night after I went to bed. What a wonderful sound. It has been so dry and we would have had to get some water out to our surviving lilacs and the little tree that came up despite getting sprayed with Roundup! The Lilies also haven't had water. This is so perfect! This will give Brandie's lawn a little time to soak in the water and turn green again before winter hits, also.
With Fall being right around the corner, it is time to get a bale of straw for the dog houses. We have to be careful not to get it too early, as Sammy (the Black Lab/Boxer mix) will have fun pulling it out of the dog house, jumping and playing in it, and scattering it to the winds. She is such a big baby!!
My pickup broke down in town last Sunday. I had it pulled up to Mike's house, which was quite a feat. The tow trucks were all busy that night, so it took about an hour to get one, (through my insurance) and then the dispatcher sent out the new guy in the broken truck. The kid worked so hard, but didn't have experience with the back wheel dollies, so after three calls to his co-worker, the co-worker came and helped to get it loaded on the dolly. Then the lights went out on the tow truck and then the tow truck died. The other tow truck was on the scene, so they switched over to the other tow truck. It was a long night for them. The dispatcher was unaware that the truck was in for repair. But all ended well and the truck is in Mike's hands to figure out what is wrong. Since he is leaving the end of the month, it is good that this happened before the cold came in. Now the pickup will be ready for winter!
Now to go make a nice warm dish for the cats and dogs so that they can get the chill of the day off from them. Also, ran out of cat food, and no vehicle yet to get it....so treats for the cats! They will be happy!!!
