We're Having A Heat Wave!!

Oooohhhh, the weather was beautiful today!! This afternoon
I looked at the thermometer and it read 83 degrees.... is
summer finally here?? All we can do is hope!

I started mowing the lawn today and that smell!! There's
nothing like the smell of freshly mowed grass. As I was
mowing Barkley was following the lawn mower around
and barking up a storm. I finally stopped, disengaged
the blades and told him to come on up. The little guy
jumped up onto the mower with me, I pulled him up
on my lap and away we went. He stayed perched up on
my chest with his front paws on my shoulder, just
watching the world pass by. He really thought he was
going someplace. Wonder if he realized we were just
going around in circles?! If he did realize it, he didn't
seem to mind a bit... he was riding, that's all he
cared about.

I have been continuing my cleaning spree and am now
starting to wind it down inside the house. Things
are so shiny and clean looking. At 4 o'clock this
morning I was cleaning my back door. I couldn't
sleep and just happened to think of it, so I got out
of bed and spruced it up while it was on my mind.

This evening after taking my shower I finally
finished making Honey Wayne's shorts. They
turned out so cute. I know he'll just love them.
Here's a pic of the shorts.


Mike sounded awfully tired this evening when I
talked to him. I know he hasn't been sleeping
well since he left. He said the air is so thin in
the mountains that he's having a hard time
breathing and has had a bad headache.
Tonight he said he finally got rid of his headache,
it's about time though, tomorrow he will have
been up there for a week.

The house sure has been quiet with him gone
and no Grandmonsters for a few days. It's a
little eerie, almost too quiet, kwim? Oh well,
it won't last long, I think I'm getting a Grand-
monster this weekend for a night or two. It
definitely won't be quiet then.
