If you were here today

If you were here today I would have you out in the swing. The sun is warm, a light breeze is blowing, just perfect weather to be outside.

We could have a picnic. I would spread a blanket on the ground and we would have juice, crackers, cheese and fruit. We would play with your little cars, crawl around in leaves that are on the ground. Maybe even discover a bug or two. We would have fun.

The electric company came the other day and cut down the trees in the back yard. They cut down the trees in all the backyards. We would have watched them cut the trees down from a safe distance.

Dozier the yellow lab doesn't come around anymore for his morning handout. His owners gave him away. Dozier was a gypsy kind of dog. Nomadic. So we can not watch Buddy and Dozier play anymore. That's kinda good as you and I would get run over if we got in their way. Sometimes you were funny as you would get out of their way if you could, leaving me to fend for myself.

It is almost lunch time. I don't feel hungry. I just wish you were here.

Love, Grandmommy

Glorious change in weather

OMG! Walked outside early this morning and the "cool" front decided to stay. If it wasn't raining I would open the windows and turn off the a/c. But I can't do that. Open the windows.

I haven't seen the squirrel today. Perhaps I will see her later this afternoon if the rain has stopped. Her feeder is just outside my bedroom window so I can watch her when she comes. NO I don't spend my day standing at the window in order to see her. I write. So I am sitting at my desk and I look up when I hear her.

Grandson is here today. He spent the night. He is now 16 months old and is quite the adorable grandchild. I just love to sit and watch him.
