A Warm Christmas

It was ten years ago when we had a Christmas like this weather. Winston had become paralyzed about a week before this photo on Christmas Day. He couldn't figure out the warm weather either but found it much easier to drag his rear legs as he continued to 'walk' in the back yard and into the field. I just saw this morning where I live now, tied their highest temperature of 68° on Christmas Day. It was a record all the way back to 1938 when global warning was all over the news.

As you can see Walter likes all the hounds and dogs he lives with. Last night Watson thought he could climb on the couch, fit on one cushion and squeeze between me and Walter. Of course he barely fit and was sitting on Walter's feet and head waiting for him to move. Walter decide that was fine, raised his head and went back to sleep, using Watson has a warm pillow.

We Have Survived Single Digit Temps

The temps dropped fast Saturday night heading for a low of 5° by the next morning when I slid the patio door open for the hounds and dogs. Just as it was forecasted, it arrived. The only saving grace was my weather app that comes with the iPhone, was showing me it would not last long. As I write this Monday night at 5:30pm CT, the temps are up to 33° and it feels like a heatwave outside.

Changes Instead Of Quitting

 

Over the 14 years I have had this blog there have been a few times I wanted to quit. Yet two things keep me going. (1) I like to write, even ramble at times but those times have been fewer since last November. (2) Readers still enjoy seeing the hounds and dogs.

Rainy And Cold

It's cold this morning at 8:46am ... 44° but at least the sunshine is bright after three days of rain. I can tell by this first photo that the 40+ photos did not post in the order I took them, nor in the order I uploaded them. So the stories might jump around a bit and seem out of order as you look and/or read. 

My friend sent me a photo of the pizza she had made over the weekend. Can you believe that pizza crust is made out of shredded chicken. She sent me the recipe from a keto chef on Instagram.

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.
