Different take on an alarm clock / Yard Work

Last night I fell asleep before midnight...that just does not happen very often! Sometime around 4:00 a.m. the guard dog in the corner lot started barking his head off and was soon joined by all the other dogs on the street.  Ordinarily, I would get up and yell at him and the others to SHUT UP...I was like in a trance or heavily sedated...and NO...I had not been drinking.

This went on until about 6:00 a.m. and as usual, the barking did not bother any of the owners...sadly it never seems to. The good thing is that for once it did not bother ME.

I have a friend whose grown children were urging her to adopt a pet to keep her company during the stay-at-home mandate.  She flat told them NO...she did not mind babysitting theirs...she calls them her "grand dogs" which I think is hilarious!

You might be asking yourself where am I going with this?  She said something very pointed to them which rang a bell with me.  She told them she did not need "an alarm clock".  If you are a pet owner it might resonate with you as well.  If I do not feed Paquito at his appointed hour...he starts crying by my bedroom window and does not stop until I go feed him. This morning I was two hours late and I didn't care!

After my morning chores, I decided I better fill up another 55 lb trash bag of leaves and weeds rather than waiting until the last minute on trash day. 

That is exactly what I did and now I don't think I am going to have room for the actual trash :D

We had a low of 69 a high of 99 with a heat index of 102 degrees.

Good night,  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
