Monday Again.

So our weekend was half OK, half boiling. Saturday my mom went to her company's summer picnic. It was held at a place where she said there were lots of geese, and we could smell them on her shoes! That was certainly interesting.

Sunday Mom was sick with the onset of a head cold. She hardly gets things like this, so combine that with the heat and it made for a cranky day. She stayed home today, too, but today the weather was much nicer--breezy and in the lower 80s. Whew, is all I can say.

Here's a picture of our other neighbor. The camera wanted to only focus on the tree, so you have to look carefully. Yes, that cat is half out the window! He or she sits like that all the time and doesn't ever try to jump down! The first time Mom saw this she nearly had a heart attack until she realized the cat was not in danger (i.e., not Russellish).



We took turns nursing Mom and it looks like she will sneeze and sniffle her way back to hunting tomorrow. And for all of you who've worried about us with all the smoke and wildfires we have going here in drought-ravaged NM, we're OK. Our monsoon season officially started last week, but as is becoming all too normal, no rains yet. If only we could take some of the water from folks who have been flooded this year...

  1. William, it is super hot here, too, but our mom is not sick, thank goodness. Nursing the mom people is hard work, we think.

    Stay safe out there - we're glad the fires haven't come near you.

  2. We would send you some of our rain if we could. We have enough to share.

  3. It sounds as though things could be better where you are, but that you're hanging in there -- sorta like that cat at the neighbor's. As long as the fire stays far away, that's the big thing.

  4. Good job nursing your mom!

    That cat is really taking a chance, I think! He is making my mama nervous!

  7. Wow--now THAT's an interesting sight! I would like to have a kitty like that outside my window!

    I am glad to hear that you have a little less hots today (and less smoke too, I hope!)

    It was 88 here today which by my standards IS the hots!

  8. Yuck, we're sorry your mom has a head cold. Our mom is intolerable when she gets them. You got to smell geese? Our mom says they have big poop. Our mom also said there was no need for us to share that information with you. Enjoy your cool weather

  9. GEESE POOPS? Can you mail us some?

    We laffed at your next-door kitty, and we're glad it's not "Russellish"; we laffed at that too!

    Our humidity got up to about 12% today...no rain in sight for us, either.
