Yesterday I was so cold I turned the heater on! Noon still only 56º.  OMGOSH, been awhile since I have done that! Is Fall really coming??? Got some rain in the early afternoon... Those clouds were wild!!!


I got my order from Amazon and from Piggies Can Fly...
My new tennis shoes:

They will go with my pig shirts....
 


And I'm sure they will keep any Muslim Terrorists away from me! LOL.

I also got my piggie sponge holder for the bathroom and the frog sink strainer for the kitchen, and a pig microwave plate lid ...
