A Much Different Day

I am out of my funk!  So no more kvetching on the blog (this week).  Elliot, the college-age young man who lives next door, did much to restore my good humor, and then I received an e-mail from my cousin Sarah, which made me laugh out loud.  My brother-in-law showed up at 7:25 last night and jumped the van, so I once again have transport.  All is well with my world - my kits have been loving and snuggling with me, I've cared for Ooch, and I fed the kits and Tessa (and walked  her) and have been home for a while.  VT showed up while I was in Safeway, and escorted me home - such a sweetie....   Dee, a friend who used to live in Githens Acres, told me last week that she and her hubby wanted a puppy.  Tuesday morning there was a report on the news regarding 86 puppies that our Humane Society had taken  from an over-crowded Tulsa rescue agency.  They range in age from 8  to 16 weeks, and cover all types of breeds and mutts.  I called Dee and told her about it.  This morning, she showed me a photo of her new girl, a yellow Lab - golden Retriever mix.
   I thought we were having a nasty time with wildfires here in Colorado.  There are 5 major fires burning in Virginia, that have destroyed over 14,000 acres, plus numerous small fires.  The largest fires are in Alleghany County (near the home I shared with Jeff), and in Craig, Page, and Shenandoah Counties as well.  Farmers have already declared a drought on the Eastern Shore.  Come on, Mother Nature!  We need rain all across the country (and a little more than the brief wetting we got in Boulder last night, please)!  I think I always say this around this time of year, but having done my family tree, and finding that my ancestors were farmers for the past 600 years (and fishermen in Sweden and on Chincoteague), I worry about the state of precipitation around the world....
    I hope everyone has a great day!
