A Gloomy Day

We expected rain and got it. It was misty this morning on the way to breakfast - not even enough to call it rain. Had an excellent breakfast and back home. After some chores around the house I headed out to the post office and then to work at the library. Left around noon and did some banking and then picked up milk at the local IGA. Leftover meatloaf for lunch, The rain was just a drizzle and B went out to blow the driveway and deck. Then the rain became heavier and now it's very heavy and very dark - as I said, gloomy day.

I've been down on the computer downloading pictures and then importing them into LightRoom and labeling them. I then saved some in jpg for the blog.

We got a new VW bug. The black one we had was to reproduce (for want of a better word) the bug we had back in the mid 60s. Ahhh the "good old days". Even though the engine was in the front when the original one had the engine in the back, it was pretty close to what we had. Sun roof, flower holder, black. However, it was not the most comfortable car to drive in, but it was more comfortable than the 1966 bug we had. Then VW changed the style and came out with a "new" beetle. While the overall look is similar, it is very different! More room, great sound system and navigation, generally better. And, silver does not show the dirt/dust as fast as black does. So, we now have a new car.

Honey was on the deck looking out. I cropped the picture. Notice the new collar? It's a bit wider and looks so nice.

She is on a leash - it just doesn't show.
She often goes out on the driveway with B and just sits. However, here she was kinda trotting along to get down the driveway to see what ever she could see. Honey loves to watch traffic. We don't have much traffic on our road but she can see the better traveled road from the end of the driveway and from the deck. She sits in anticipation of a car coming up the hill.
Our neighbors wave(as they pass the house in their car) since they can see her in the house as she stands on one of the chairs and looks out the windows. She is so popular, our girl!  LOL
