Summer

Yes, it is HOT!  Just ask Buddy.  Poor thing has been suffering again.  I finally caved and turned on the air conditioning again today (we are under another heat advisory with the index well over 100).  I know, some of you say, "big deal" that is spring weather here.  I say, try our humidity sometime and then comment.

Even with the air conditioning, I have to turn on a fan next to my desk.  Partially, this is because the register that delivers the cooled air is next to the desk and requires redirection to reach most of the great room.

In spite of the heat, however, I can't keep Blondie in the house.  She prefers the garage and will spend the entire day snoozing on the concrete floor.  

BK remains MIA - and this time could be permanent.  He has been gone for a week plus.  I am sad.  He really is a pretty good kitty.  Besides, none of the others have been hunting in the tall grasses for the mice.  Black Beauty is missing a couple teeth, so that is one excuse.  The other being the HEAT!
