Monday, August 16, 2021 Sunny/Mostly Cloudy Rain coming 85 degrees breezy 4:02 p.m.
A beautiful day with thunder, rain, clouds, wind, sunshine and heat. It is very hot and sticky outside today. I will take a walk to the mailbox in a bit. I could wait until this evening but then it will probably be thunderstorm time and I won’t be out in it because I just might melt.
The beautiful bird above, according to my Great Smokey Mountain Birds guide, is a Black-Throated Blue Warbler. It sure is pretty. While there I didn’t see him. Jerry has a night camera that takes the best pictures of animals and birds that visit his yard after dark.
My week there ended Saturday evening so am back home with just two cats to pet and fuss over. The best thing about the cats is that they don’t bark in the middle of the night. They just hiss and growl when something gets to close to their windows. When I got in Bed, here at home, Saturday night, Sierra jumped up, came up , got petted, then preceded to go to the top of the pillow and yank my hair. It hurt and I loudly said “ouch”! I reached up to grab her and she bit me, not enough to draw blood, but enough I sure felt it. then she left. I guess she was telling me that was my punishment for leaving for so long. I am supposed to be there for night time treats. It could of been much worse. I have heard horror stories of the pets being displeased with their people. Yesterday afternoon Tina and I went to the store, “Five Below” and I bought each of the cats a new fluffy bed. They were a bit big for the ones they have had for a few years. They seem to be pleased with them.
Have a wonderful rest of your Monday. I hope it is a pleasant, productive, cooler, energizing, positive and blessed day.
