Mo Rain! ~ Dude ~ TBT ~ Bruiser ~ Laney Honey ~ Law Enforcement/Fire Lunch ~ Michael Duran


Good 47º raining morning. Stayed dry all day yesterday and even some sun peeking through at times. Rain started somewhere around 3 or 4am and so far we've gotten 1/4".
More on the way!

Yesterday after I came home from lunch I let Dude run in the pasture. He had fun jumping the creek!


Throw Back Thursday.. 1959 my Scuffy Ann of Stockbridge..
Pedigreed dogs have fancy names so that's why I named her that including our street name! 

The sweetest dog ever! She would sit up on her hind legs like this when Mom was ironing and just sit there watching her!

Here is the nut Bruiser watching a video of cats on Youtube sitting on my desk...

Breakfast yesterday was yogurt with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of Laney Orange Blossom Honey! Soooooooooooo good!

If you want some SUPER good honey... go here...

This is funny... what I wrote on my blog 3 years ago this date...
The little black and white feral cat is getting less scared of me. I call him "BC" for 'black cat'!  I have put food and water in the bed of my golf cart and yesterday he actually came up while I was outside and 'mewed' at me! I came inside and took his picture through the slider door...

National Weatherman's Day


National Weatherman's Day honors weathermen, and woman who work hard to accurately predict the often fickle weather. Despite major technological advances and supercomputers, forecasting the weather is still a tricky, and ever changing business.
Knowing the weather is important in so many ways. It affect how we dress, where we go, and even if we go. Space launches are made or delayed depending upon the weather. And, knowing the weather can save lives. The most obvious example is knowing when and where hurricanes or tornados may hit.
According to the Air Force News, Weatherman's Day "commemorates the birth of John Jeffries, one of America's first weathermen". Jeffries was born on Feb 5, 1744. He kept weather records from 1774 to1816.
