Hounds And Dogs Move Into Fall

It has been a nice transition from those high 90's temps day after day into low 80s with it in the 50s at night. The AC has been turned off for weeks and the windows have been open 24/7. Not only have I enjoyed the change in weather but so have the hounds and dogs. Basically we are living a life of leisure the past month or so.

It's Been A Busy Month

I thought while I was taking a break between tasks on my constantly changing "daily" to do list, I'd catch everyone up on what I've been doing as well as a lot of photos of the hounds and the dogs. Yes, Walter made an appearance outside today, it is that nice of a day.

The Hounds And Dogs Return

I continue to check off things on my house "to do" list but also have time to take photos of the hounds and dogs over the past few days. I've been asked "how do you handle so many dogs" ... well I walk them individually except Walter, who will not walk. 

They basically take care of themselves during the day and are usually asleep for the night by 7:30pm every night. They play together, sleep and then surround me anytime I am sitting outside or lying in the middle of the bicycle room floor. We do that daily. Handling five of them is pretty easy actually. 

So, nothing but photos this post.

Great Weather In "The Tropics"

When it doesn't rain, the weather this month has been fantastic. The cover has not come off of the air conditioning unit yet and the windows stay open 24/7, although it is a little chilly when it drops in the 50's while we sleep. The patio door stays open most of the day and until we head for bed at night, so the hounds and dogs really enjoy getting out in this fantastic weather. No bugs yet and no squirrels inside the fence. LOL

Rain Makes Me Ramble

This was happening around 8:25am local this morning. I saw on another weather site that before the rain that started last night, we had 51.3" for the year. That 1.6" in upper right corner was a lot more than tv weather told me I would get. I wondered last night if I might prefer it to be colder with snow for easier clean up of hounds and dogs paws. I will talk about my new system of saving my sanity and keeping my floors clean. Otherwise, this weather gave me the urge early this morning to put this post together and ramble a little bit.
