It's Warm Again !!!


It might be a little wet but at least it's warm again. 57° never felt so warm. Back to a jacket and ball cap and ready for afternoon thunderstorms.











Yes, there has been some "spring cleaning" on the blog.

Good days continue here in 'the tropics' of Southern Indiana.

We Are Still Around


We are all still around. Doing nothing out of the ordinary daily routine.
















This photo was sent to me this morning from my friend that lives in Chicago ...


All is good in 'the tropics' of Southern Indiana.

Sadie Loves This Field

From tracking new scent every morning and afternoon ... to getting her sprints and running in ... Sadie loves this field. If she had her way, there would be 4-5 walks per day instead of the normal 2-3.

The Bloodhounds Love Morning Walks


Sadie and Stella react in different ways while I put on my jacket and gloves to stay warm during the walks. Stella nudges my hand with her nose, Sadie whines and bounces on her rear legs non-stop in excitement. They also differ in what kinds of walks they take ... these  photos are from this morning.

A little different blog format this morning from 'the tropics' of southern Indiana.

The Hound's Slow Friday


With Sadie whining ... Stella nudging me with her nose ... I could tell I was going to head out for our morning walk before I wanted to. I wanted to wait an hour or two for the temperature to increase from 16° and a wind chill of 0° ... but the hounds always get their way. We were off.


Since I had walked outside with Sadie and Stella after their breakfast while my coffee was dripping into the coffee pot, I knew they had to have some motive to get back outside besides relieving themselves. They had earlier. I also knew it was really really cold.


It was going to be one of those days where neither hound seemed to interested in walking.


The both were given total freedom to do whatever they wanted ... I kept walking.








I did a lot of out loud pondering while I walked. Do I want to trade this neighborhood for one that has actual neighbors living right next to you? Or will the field be taken over by a few ATV riders this summer?




It was good to see that Stella had not wandered off into the woods.



Stella was ready for a warm house.

I am finding out more and more about my housing search. It's like any other housing search ... it's always a pain buying and selling houses. No answers yet, I'll have my answer when I need it.

Sunny but freezing in 'the tropics' of southern Indiana.

No need for words ... the pictures tell the story.
