There were scattered T-Storms overnight but we didn't get any rain out of them.
Folgers and Chocolate chip cookies with Reese's Peanut Butter nuggets in them.
I over slept this morning. It felt good.
Work around the homestead today.
We have a similar black and white. Sorry for your loss. They sure can be buddies.

Sorry to hear about the cat RR. I have one that follows me around and IM not even fond of cats. Cooler here this am was 40 deg and headed for 72. Next week all in the 70's Good shooting weather. Coffee and a couple of raspberry strudels to start the day.

So sorry for your loss. My condolences. I have a small black cat, Jelly Bean. She sleeps with me at night and comes to get me for our afternoon nap.

Folgers and cookies. Light drizzle. We need a lot more rain.
Got the work on the motorhome almost done.
Back in the 80s there was a young teen that needed a home. He was adopted and the
family who adopted him, abused him. They lived nearby and we could hear them screaming
at him through the woods. I was a single parent raising my own son, (my daughter was away in college).
One day he finally fought back and the kicked him out. My son told me he was sleeping in sleeping bag
at the end of our drive so he could catch the school but. Then he could clean up and eat at school.
Making a long story short, he came to live with us. I got him through high school and one year working
construction until he joined the Army. He served in both gulf wars and also did a stint in Afghanistan as well.
Over the years we lost contact. He has a family of his own now and life is busy with children and grand children.
Yesterday he drove in my drive way. We spent a pleasant afternoon working on his truck and talking about
old times. He stayed for dinner. It was great.
He is actually helping the family that had abused him get the parents house ready to sell. He'll be around
for a week or so. He promised to stop back again.

63 on its way to 83 under a beautiful Carolina Blue Sky ..... low (if any) chance of rain but humidity is on the rise .... regular breakfast is history .... looking forward to watching Duke vs UNC kicking off in a couple of hours

RanchRoper, sorry to hear about your loss. I will say that “Pickles” is one of the best pet names ever!

38 with frost on the northern exposures of my roof. We should see the upper 60’s later with sunny skies. Planning on watching my WSU Cougars take on the California Golden Bears on the gridiron later this afternoon. The Cougs are really struggling this year and I’m not too optimistic on their overcoming the Cal Bears today.

Still, a great day for football.

43 right now headed to 73 nice fall day on tap.

Folgers and cookies.
Up early for church, then home for some cinnamon rolls.
The Legion post is having a pig roast today. It was my suggestion and I'm afraid
it's not going over well. We have very few folks signed up. This surprises me.
Pulled pork, potato salad, baked beans, mac and cheese and soft drinks.
We were trying to get families involved, but it isn't looking good.
Oh well, we'll be there.
Now if we had a liquor license so we could sell beer..............

[Hatchdog]

35 right now that is supposed to double to a nice sunny 70. What’s not to like about that!

Light chores on tap including a trip to a neighbors to provide some chainsaw advice and to another’s to pick up some pork belly she grilled and has an excess. Mmmmmm. Then the Seahawks on TV wasting away a beautiful afternoon sitting inside.

another beautiful morning in the neighborhood .... 61 on its way to 84 with no chance of rain, breakfast has gone, Folgers still flowing freely ... project for the morning to patch a seam tear in the driver's seat of our pickup

[daytime dave]

58 going to mid 60's. It's cloudy day with rain called for mostly.

Coffee in the steel mug.

No plans for the day.

Enjoy your day everyone.

[BigAl52]

Little warmer here today. 80 degress should make a nice bike ride.

[Shakey Jake]

86° and sunny. Glad to see it dry up a bit finally. Cooked eggs, bacon, and coffee for breakfast along with some banana bread the wife baked. All is good.

Of course. Check cows daily that are calving, mow my yard, dig sweet potatoes, clear out section of electric fence along windbreak to lessen chance of grounding out fence, go turkey hunting...paint on next picture....get letter mailed to granddaughter..... plenty on a retired guys list who supposedly has no obligations.... oh yes , and get this first cup of coffee sipped down ..... hope you all manage to whittle down your "to do list" this week as well! Happy whittling!
