The rains came

What a rainy day! It started yesterday with winds and warm temperatures. And the rain kept falling - over night. And we found out Honey does not like to go out in the rain. I think it was because the winds were so high the trees were swaying and making noise. It was the noise and the rain sideways that spooked her. Well, you gotta go so out we went (I get night duty). She is better only needing to go out twice. She was very good and after a wiping down she went willingly into her crate. She was up at 5:55 and since I've been getting up at 6 we got up, went out and I had some coffee.

We had a visitor yesterday, our neighbor George. She greeted him at the door but didn't jump up. When he sat down she did go after his shoe laces but was generally well behaved and while George and B talked, Honey lay down on one of her pillows. Today we had someone doing routine maintenance of the HVAC and while the guy was mostly downstairs, when he came up for some info she just looked - no barking or jumping. Soooo good!

Right now she is on her pillow sleeping. The temperatures are dropping and I hope it won't get icy as she has a bit of trouble going up and down the steps to the driveway. She hasn't tried the steps in the house. I went down for something a bit ago and she looked over but didn't go down. Here she is after she took a look and decided not to head down. They are rather steep steps but we know she will venture down very shortly.

We had the last of the turkey soup for lunch and tonight we are having hamburgers and baked beans. I got sick of turkey and then I made a ham over the weekend. So we will have something simple and good tonight.  Since I'm cooking breakfast for a while, I made a Lynn Mac Muffin with egg, cheese and ham on an English Muffin. That was, if I do say so, good! I've made pancakes, scrambled eggs, eggs hash browns and bacon and a bagel (purchased from Price Chopper and frozen). I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring. Probably scrambled eggs or maybe an omelet. I do miss the diner!
