Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Hatchdog]

^^^^^^ saw those warm temps across the eastern half of the country.

Here it’t a balmy 58 and I don’t know what the high is expected to be. However we may see some rain today and for that we are thankful!

Continued with some tree limbing yesterday, need to get whatever needs trimming done so I can pile the limbs and cover them with a tarp for winter burning. While working on the piles I already have I discovered two dead trees located pretty close to my burn area. That will make piling the limbs easy. Depending on the rain I’ll cut them down today after (sadly) the Seahawks lose to the Steelers this morning.

They should have kept Pete.

As Gomer Pyle said, “surprise, surprise, surprise!”. The Hawks played a great game and got the win. I picked them to lose so shame on me.

Very rare for the kickoff team to score a touchdown. Funny watching a game when about the only Seahawks player names that sound familiar to me are Walker and Charbonnet.

Carol's little black and white cat is dying of cancer and she starting to suffer so we
will need to put her down probably today.
Sad.

You have my deepest sympathy, Coop. It's always hard.

We adopted our little feline friend ten years ago this week on 9/11. Today, she's comforting me on my wedding anniversary. Annie died from cancer 8 years ago. We would have been together for fifty-eight years, married for fifty-two.

I’m with you Dave. Yesterday I wanted that bully Metcalf to start something with a Hawks player and get ejected. He did get punky but didn’t get flagged sadly.

52 and cloudy this morning after another good rain overnight. It’s been a good week for rain for us and we are grateful. Hope it got far enough to rain on the half dozen wildfires around. Not sure what the forecast is as instead of getting up way too early like the last several days today I slept in. Must have been the soothing rain.

Got a couple of dead trees cut down and up and today I’ll haul them up to the splitter and see how wet they are. Hopefully I can burn them late winter. Then more limbing for my winter outdoor burning. Nice to get some fall weather finally.

This is a Watch Duty map of the fires in the NE corner of Washington State. My place is not shown on the map but is just south of the bottom border of the picture. The fire near our property is the Blackhawk fire near the top. All these fires were caused by lightning. This cooler wetter weather is helpful but I just read a report on the Tacoma Creek fire that there has not been enough rain to help but it does make the conditions for the firefighters a little bit more comfortable. More hot temps coming later this week. Boo

Thoughts are with you and Carol, Coop.
Also, with you Stan on this very meaningful day.

45' and sunny this morning. Maybe 76 later. Tomorrow expected to be hot, in then the low 90's.

She really took a bad turn overnight and we finally decided to take her in to be euthanized. She was absolutely terrified of the Vet's Office so we hated to do that. She died in Carol's lap on the way to town. We brought her home and buried her in the woods by our drive. Carol is really sad.

Thanks for sharing the story of Oreo with us, Coop. I'm sure sad isn't even close to how Carol feels. But, I think dying in the lap of someone you love and who loves you too might be about as good as it gets... whether you're a pet or a person. Peace be with you tonight, Carol.
