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".

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...

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...

February 5th
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.
