Could be my part of the planet before I have my morning cup of tea

That's how I feel about it before my first cup of coffee

Sounds perfect to me   It's supposed to reach the low 80s here and be nice and sunny.  Tomorrow, mid-80s, then Wed/Thurs we get the remains of the storm that hit the gulf coast.  

Now, to finish my coffee and do paperwork.  Fun.

G'day y'all. It's been pleasant so far this morning. Went for a walk at dawn then came home and did some weeding and mulching. Now we're just relaxing under the tree. The cicada are busy trying to attract mates. They're making more noise than the traffic. It's currently 77/25° With comfortable humidity. Forecast is for bright sunshine and temps in the upper 80's/30°. I've a late afternoon appt with my urologist. It's my annual visit so not expecting anything unusual though there is an ultrasound of my kidneys and bladder immediately preceding.

The pup is currently on the bad dog list. When the weather is warm he'll often dig out a small depression to lay in while he watches me work. Saturday I put down soil and grass seed to repair a bare spot. I've been kee.ping it moist to help with germination. The damp soil is cooler so of course while I was otherwise occupied Thistle dug a lovely trench roughly a quarter of the size of the area. I smoothed things again but who knows how much of the grass seed has been redistributed. Plus some was thrown into a section of a flower garden. Fortunately I have more of the seed if I need to reseed but I was not well pleased

Afternoon gang

The sun is playing shy but the temperatures are nice enough.

I'm waiting for the internet technician to work on the optical fiber for internet

Good morning guys and gals! 

Sunny-ish, cloudy-ish, gray-ish here. Mother Nature is in a strange mood.

Catch y'all later. And remember what I always say: keep your hands out of Val's herd  (or at least wait until she's distracted )

See you around.

@Timothy M. I saw this on the news and immediately thought you'd appreciate it.  On 7/11 this year, a baby boy was born at 7:11 pm weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces.    I said they should name him "Slurpee", but apparently the parents didn't agree.

Morning, Val. Going to try to make lemonade out of lemons today. Have a good one... despite the paperwork.

Poor Thistle.   Cookie is on that list a few times a day.   Hey, dugh.

Hi, Nick! Mother nature has a right to be in a strange mood... we don't look after her like we should.

I admit, it took me a while to get the 'Slurpee' thing.

 For the non-Americans, 7-11 is a chain of convenience stores.  They're famous for their flavored ices called "Slurpees".  They give away free Slurpees on 7-11 every year.

They aren't common here, but there is one nearby. I used to take my kids there for Slurpees, so the lightbulb went on. I remember too, in Glee, there were a lot of Slurpee attacks.
