The year is racing to a close as we look forward to the start of a new one with all of its trials and tribulations. That is what makes living so wonderful apart from the obvious as we never know what the next day will bring.

For some reason, I slept late and it was 11:00 am before I even woke up. Haven’t slept that late in a long time. I guess my body needed the sleep although I have no idea why as it’s not like I am busy all day long. Maybe, all that sitting around makes me tired…

We followed our normal pattern of bringing out the bird feeders and even though they are low on seed, I decided not to re-fill them as there are hardly any birds to talk of. It was a cloudy and overcast day but so far, had not started to rain and there is none in the forecast for all of this week. We could really use some of the wet stuff if for nothing more than to get things growing.

Then we went out walking around the park or at least, Mikey and I did, Summer has her own agenda and has gotten into the habit of sleeping late even after Mikey and I get ready to go walking. So now, the two of us walk around once and then come back for Summer and usually, she is ready to go, usually…

It was a quiet day, and we had very little to do. I needed to go into Tractor Supply to get Rat traps and spray to help treat the problems that we have. That was the only thing I needed having visited HEB the day before.

When we got back, I sprayed the area where we had been having the rat problems which luckily is somewhere where the dogs can’t get to.

The rest of the day was spent listening to an Audiobook, dog walking and then watching TV along with the evening meal.
