True Grit.



I'm glad it's almost the weekend. Now, if only the terrible winds would subside. We don't like the noise, we don't like the flying branch bits, we don't like the dust-filled sky, we don't like the grit all over the place. And, it's spreading the wildfire in the mountains south of here and our firefighters need a break. So we want it to stop.

Other than that, I don't think we have any big plans. Maybe napping, watching my bird video again, playing, stuff like that. I hope everyone has a fun weekend too!

  1. Momma gets all worried when it gets dry and there are forest fires, then she will be wishing for snow!! We finally have spring, but Momma let me out on the deck and forgetted me for 2 hours and I cried and cried. Then she looked all over the house for me. She kept saying how sorry she was........not......

  3. I is worried 'bout those winds too! Mom said they nearly blowed her away, even in the evil truck (it must be evil because when I'm in it, it always goes to the v-e-t). Sure wish we was getting some rain with them winds!!

  4. Fires is nice in their enclosed stoney place, but not outside! We hope yer all OK. Napping inside is a good idee.

  5. Mommy remembers what that's like (and so so I!) We were stuck in a true dust storm in SW KS once and it was amazing where the grit got...

  6. Oh nos! I hate wind too, it tries to knock me off my feet (and would probably succeed the way I'm feeling right now). The combination of wildfires and winds is really bad. Hope you'll all stay safe. xxx

  7. Hope the winds calm down for you. And that bird video sounds cool.

  9. I sure do agree with you about that wind! My Daddy says some rich Texan bought a ranch in Arizona and is having it delivered to the Texas Panhandle by air mail!

    We purray for the firefighters and the people who live near that wildfire. Mom and my Daddy are going camping at Sumner Lake this weekend and they will be very careful! The only fire they will have is in the propane camp stove so I hope it does not get too cold for them.

    They are taking my woofies but Jemima and Ruckus and I will be home alone. Pfooey! They better leave lots of food for us!!

  10. A weekend of napping and playing sounds nice. When you watch your bird video, make sure you have your treats ready.

  13. Hi William, we are sorry the winds are blowing where you are, but you mentioned something about grits. They are yummy - especially with butter.
