come on!

I am beginning to lose faith in the Cubs 

    All season long I've bee hearing they have one of the best offenses in baseball.

    No offense, but they have no offense lately.   Two games in a row with only 3 hits.  And a series against Baltimore where they only scored 9 runs in 3 games.  That is not a good offense.

    Enough about baseball.

    Beth has been sleeping in the laundry area.  I don't know if it is quieter, darker, cooler, warmer or what, but she seems to like it there.

    Tonight I put a load in the washer and set the basket on the bench we have.  Beth was in front of the dryer.

    A few minutes later I heard a crash, and went in and found the laundry basket on the floor, and Beth trapped in front of the dryer.

    She did not bark, whine, howl or anything....she just sat there until I picked up the basket then she scurried out very quickly.

    I have a feeling her sleeping in the laundry days are over.

    The big hawk was back again today, perched in the burr oak in the back of the yard.  I hope he is a regular because he can keep the ground squirrel population down.

    I have not seen as many lately, although there are trails through my yard.  Beth likes to look for them too, but they have moved out of her area.

    I was sitting on the back patio about 8 tonight and was amazed at all the sounds nature was providing.  I need to wear my hearing aids out there more often, because it was so darn soothing.  Usually I have them out and don't hear much, but tonight it was a great experience.

    That's all that I know.

Peace and love
