THE WEATHER!

It struck me when I looked at the thermometer before venturing outside how our perspective changes.  A couple of weeks with really cold blustery days made me keep to the house and I thought on one particularly brrrrrr! day:  'when did Kansas move to Minnesota?'  Today when I looked out the temp was in the 40's with no wind to speak of and I thought: heat wave, nice day!  On the other hand in the summer heat when the temp is in the 80's with a slight breeze I think: cooled off, pleasant day for getting something done!  I can get a good idea of what it's like to see what Poocharoo is doing (besides watching to see if I'll come out with something  for her to eat!).  In the summer my digger dog digs a nice cool damp spot in the shade to snooze.  Since it is cooler she hunts out the sunshiniest spot out of the wind  to sunbath.  Yesterday it was the top step by the back door since the ground was wet from rain during the night.  Of course, wherever she is hanging out, the slightest noise from me in the kitchen brings her ears up at attention and gets her eyes riveted on the window in the door and if she sees ANY movement she is on the porch doing her jumping jack imitation trying to see inside.  She is almost 10 years old now but her eyesight and hearing doesn't seem to have dimished.  There is the old saying in Kansas (and I think in other states as well):  If you don't like the weather just wait a little while, it will change!   If we didn't have the weather to talk about it would sure cut down on conversation!  And if I didn't have a dog what would I write about?  Enjoy the season and don't forget the ONE who gave it to you and why.  Love y'all!
