Today is day “13” of us checking on our neighbor’s cat. The meowing starts as soon as he hears the back door open. He is so over having the house to himself. As always, his crunchy toy is in the empty food bowl. It has gotten to be a “hide and seek” between the two of us.
I am doing quite well on very little sleep from last night. At 2:30 in the morning there was a clap of thunder that could have raised the dead. Lightening and thunder continued as sheets of rain made looking out the window much like a snow storm. I did check the radar on my laptop and knew when it sounded like the rain was over . . . there was more coming. I just had a hard time settling in for more of the must needed sleep. Five to six inches this time of the year is rare. I am not complaining as we have not had a single bad wind storm with all the rain that we have had. The best part is, our raised wooden porch floor has stayed dry. I will admit when I took my coffee out to the porch this morning, I was dreading that first step onto the carpeted floor. Silly ole me.
