Wow, Wilde Woman, that's definitely a different version of an old song! If I hadn't purposely listened closely I would never have recognized it. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
I keep forgetting about Labor Day. It's almost upon us. EEK!
Robin, I hope you've made a safe landing by now.
Kat, is Fenix's mom taking a semester off or what? Just wondering why you won't be walking him anymore until next year. Interesting about the condemned house. Keep us posted.
Poirot, your weather sounds more like what we have here in October or November.
Sexton, that little bit of rain must have left you with a lot of humidity, to feel like 101* when it's only 87*. I bet you've gotten even warmer by now.
It's sure enough been a quiet day here. I'm enjoying having my a/c working. I don't know what the temperature is. My big thermometer outside always seems to register higher than what I see from other sources, which are all anywhere from 20 to 60 miles away from here. Right now it says 115* but my cell phone says 107*. Either way, it's plenty hot so I'm not going outside.
I rarely ever get hungry for a specific food but this afternoon I was wishing for a piece of pecan pie. No chance of getting that, and I don't have a lot of sweets in the house. I wasn't wanting ice cream, which I usually do have in the freezer. I could also probably find some cookies in there and maybe even a piece of cake that's been in there for a long time. But cookies and cakes are my least favorite desserts. Pie and candy are my favorites so maybe it's not strange that I don't often have those--if I'd had those, I'd probably have already eaten them! I do often keep a couple of Heath bars so I ended up eating one of those.
At some time in the past my traveling son put the app on my phone that follows his location. I never paid any attention to it and had forgotten it was on there. When my daughter brought me home from Dallas recently she was cleaning up my cell phone--getting rid of old messages, etc. (most of which I'd never even seen) and she noticed the tracking feature her brother had put on there. So now I've started looking at it during times I know they are moving from one location to another. It's kinda fun to watch but then when they stop, I start wondering why did they stop? Some things catch my interest, like today and how they've been traveling across one of the states up in the northeast and it seems every few minutes they are going through a different town. It's so unlike out here, where it takes at least 30 minutes to get from one town to another.
Sorry to bore you with my trivia. I guess I'm killing time because I don't want to get up and work at anything. But yesterday I had a mystery solved. Living as isolated as I do, it often gets my attention when I hear noises I can't identify. I'm not afraid, although somethings when it's at night, it can be temporarily unsettling, depending on the type of sound. So lately I've been hearing a thud against the windows. Not one thud and then stop, as when a bird is flying and crashes into a window. This thud has been going from one window to another. So yesterday I was sitting at my work table in the sun room, when I heard the thud at the glass door that goes out to the deck. I looked up and there was a roadrunner, head cocked, looking in at me in the curious way that roadrunners do. Of course, now all the unidentified thuds of late made perfect sense. They go around to different windows looking at their reflections and pecking at them. It hadn't entered my mind because I hadn't seen any roadrunners lately.
