Starting Another Week!

Here we are, starting another week. I wish I didn't have to, but we have to pay bills! I'm in that frame of mind again, I'd like to be able to quit working and stay home, but we can't afford that right now! So I guess I'll tough it out a while longer.

Here is our kitty cat, Pippin. He got brave when he was out in the back yard and climbed the tree! I caught him on his way down. He really wants to go out in the front yard, but I don't think he's safe out there. This morning, Mistress (E's kitty cat) was out front. I went out to see where she was and all of a sudden I heard two cats going after each other. Then here comes Mistress, with an orange and white tabby cat right behind her. She ran past me and I scared the orange one away. She hid under the car in the front yard, but she wouldn't come to me. She's tangled with that cat before. Pippin is too skittish. I don't think he could hold his own with another cat. I'll let him go out back. He doesn't get into the front yard like Mistress does.

We had more rain during the night last night. It's been partly cloudy all day today. It doesn't look like we're going to get any rain tonight. The northeast heights got dumped on last night, tore up one of the fairways at Tanoan Golf Club, flooded streets. Rio Rancho got hit again, too. They haven't recovered from previous rains, yet. They just keep getting rain and it makes things worse. At least we don't have to worry about that kind of thing, being up here on the mesa like we are. Mom doesn't either. They've had a few times where the street was full of water and the back porch was covered in water, but not enough to come into the house. You have to step up to go in the house, so there would have to be quite a bit of water to get in her house. The grass is growing wild, along with the weeds. The driveway is being taken over by wild grass. One of these days, the tree man is supposed to come and take her cottonwood out from the back yard. With all this rain, I guess he's behind schedule. The roofers have been really busy, too. It's nice to have a monsoon season this year, but these rainstorms are bringing too much rain at one time.

Need to go put the laundry in the dryer! TTFN
