These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Best laid plans ....

.... and all that jazz.

When I saw the weather forecast for the weekend, I was excited, because it was nice, mid-fifties all weekend. My plan was to clean house yesterday (I did), then today I would brush and trim the dogs, followed with a bath for each. I need mild weather for that, because I do it on the deck to minimize the loose hairs in the carpet.

Buuuuuutt........

While the temp is 53° out there, perfect for working on The Kids, the wind is blowing. The weather station says it is blowing around 11-15 mph (depending on which site you look at) and gusting between 23-28 mph. Translate that into wind chill, and it is too much. I could dress OK with a windbreaker suit I have, but my hands would freeze.

And tomorrow? Temps in the upper 40s or low 50s, windy and with a ix of rain and snow showers. Ick! I'll be at work, so it isn't a big deal, except it will be dreary, and I don't do dreary.


Anyway, now I have to replan my day.........



Rats.

Now I guess I'm doomed to sit in the house today and read.

Darn, life is really tough.

  1. I finally had to give my little dog a bath the other day. I couldn't stand him any longer. I ran the heat up and sweated until he was dry.

  4. Linda, that's not necessary here. My little guys are happy to roll up in a towel and snooze till they are mostly dry! Correction - after I towel them down, they speed around the house for a few minutes as if showing off how clean they are, then come to me to be snuggled up in a cozy dry towel and sleep. :)

    MM, I know, I know. sigh. ;)

    Di, I wasn't sure about the feet, but now that I have permission, I will! And I am enjoying!
