sunny and bright.
max is feeling it. he's really frisky today.
bob and layla are stretched out on the windowsill.

i've got pizza dough rising. i'm not sure of what the toppings will be.


rain tomorrow for sure. i can always feel it coming, especially in the back of my head.


my cousin e-mailed me. she's stuck in texas because of the storm coming there.
she travels a LOT for her job.


my nephew's supposed to be in an enduro race saturday here, but it is supposed to rain so?




i told him i loved him(he knows that) and even tho it's a pretty safe race as races go, i just can not watch. too nerve racking on me.(he knows that too )


my groundhog was in the side yard this morning. the acorns are starting to fall and the groundhogs, turkeys and deer LOVE acorns. they have to fatten up before winter and acorns are good for that.


my 1st year here i watched a mama groundhog kill a hawk that had attacked her baby.
i was amazed. she wrapped herself around that hawk and they both rolled around the back yard that borders the woods making an awful, awful noise. the hawk took a big V shaped hunk out of mamma hog's hip but mama prevailed.
she killed that hawk and limped off into the brush.
we thought she would surely die, but no, she lived to be a grey old gramma groundhog with a big wedge shaped scar and a limp.

i knew groundhogs were not to be messed with but i never thought they could kill a hawk!
