Our outside temps were 67 (F) this morning here in Central PA. Temps are supposed to climb into the mid 70s (F), a cool beginning to August. If the long range forecast holds out, we're looking at high temps in the low to mid 80s (F) for the next week. And all of that rain we were supposed to get yesterday, it passed both above and below us. We got maybe a drop or two. That's it. So this morning I went out and watered my raised garden.
The only thing I did a lot of yesterday was eat. Oh, my. I haven't stepped on the scale this morning, but I'm certain I gained about 20 pounds. That is an exaggeration, of course, but believe me when I tell you that poundage was added.
Certain chores are already scheduled for today, number one being the purchase of either a runner, or a small area rug. Howie was bad. He was told so in no uncertain terms. What did he do? Chewed a hole in my area rug. He did get a scolding, and then afterwards he couldn't be nice enough, or friendly enough. Working in the flooring department, I have to tell you that this is not a first, we have had many customers coming in looking for small sections of carpet to repair spots their dogs have chewed up. In fact, one of our managers had to buy a rather large piece to fix a big hole his daughter's dog had feasted on.
