Thursday – A Little Personal – Cold Front Hits Twiggy and Lucy

~ John W. Howell

“So, Lucy. You guys going out today?”

“First, let’s check that watch of yours, Boss.”

Lucy and Twiggy

“Says here the temperature is 38 degrees. High today of 59.”

“Are you kidding me?”

Lucy and Twiggy

“You know, I think I’m going to take a rain check on the outside.”

“Oh, come on. It’s refreshing.”

“Hey, Lucy. Don’t let him talk you into anything. Who left this Yak stick here?”

“How about you, Twiggy. Going outside?”

“Gee, dad. Take a look at this coat. It is short hair. I’m not really supposed to go out under 70 degrees.”

“You two are a pair. A pair of what I don’t know.”

“Well, Dad, This yak stick is calling my name.”

“Not much exercise in that thing.”

“Yeah, but it’s like heaven. Think of how my jaws are getting ripped.”

“That’s all we need are muscular jaws around here.”

“Have a seat Lucy. I’m just explaining to Dad the physical wonders of the yak stick.”

“Yeah, good luck with that, Little One.”

“Okay, I’m coming down to see you.”

“Yak stick and all.”

“You two ready to go out?”

“Boss. We need to wait until it is warmer. Besides, your bulldog here has clamped onto the yak stick, and that is a morning shot right there.”

  5. Hope you all find ways to stay warm. It’s been very chilly in our area as well — if only a yak stick to fix it all. 😁

  10. Keep working on that yak stick! And on Dad. It’s cold and rainy up here with a few inches of snow (that won’t stick) predicted on Friday. Tell the girls how lucky they are not to be in New England!

  11. Temperature changes make me worry, dear John. Here we have about 10 C°. It is abnormal for the end of October. And no snow yet. Twiggy & Lucy are wise! It is time to relax after a long warm season at the Twiggy Resort. No deer, no squirrels! Only peace, sleep & certainly yak sticks! 😁😊

  14. I’m probably not going outside today, either, John. But for the exact opposite reason as Lucy & Twiggy. It’s already 75 (at 8:19am) and heading for 88 today. WAY hotter than I want to deal with, thanks, so I’ll just stick to inside chores, I guess. And my morning of working on my WIP. Gonna get three hours today, I think! (Don’t snort. I can do it! I think. 😀 )

      1. Did it, John! And I’m happy about what I’ve written so far, so YAY! But I can’t wait for the temps to drop a bit more so I can do some more yard work, and replanting. Hope Twiggy & Lucy have been brave enough to go outside by now. 😀

  15. Even down here at the coast it’s pretty darned cool, but the dog walkers are out. So are the dogs, for that matter, and a couple of them look as reluctant as Twiggy and Lucy.

  20. I’m with the girls…nice to stay snuggled in on such chilly days. Wish we’d get a taste of those cooler temps here on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Temps together with the humidity gave us a ‘real feel’ of around 100 yesterday. :-O A bit much for the end of October…just sayin’….

  21. I learned something today. I had to look up “yak stick” We don’t have furnaces, etc. here so I wear heavy sweaters and have a small space heater. There’s a small water heater in the bathroom. 😀 — Suzanne

  22. That’s COLD for your part of Texas, John! Be glad you’re not in the Panhandle where, I understand, they got snow! It’s been chilly here — more so than usual, but we can expect some up and down as Fall transitions to Winter. Time for the dog coats?!

  23. 38 degrees?!?! Wow, that is just SO WRONG for your area. I’m wearing a turtleneck and sweater today and it’s 50 in PA, so I can just imagine how the girls feel. I’d stay inside with the yak stick, too 🙂

  24. LOL. I love a brisk morning, John — but today I just can’t blame them. Overnight Tuesday, we got about 4 inches of snow in southeast NM. The temp barely got up to 32. That’s super rare for October. Crystal recommends her electric throw blanket to Lucy and Twiggy. Well, not hers specifically — there’d be a fight over that. 😉 Hugs on the wing.

  25. It was 38 this morning when I walked Copper. Warm coat and gloves are in use now, but it’s refreshing, as you said. Your girls are a pair of cuties, that’s what they are, John. Stay warm! ☺

  32. Do I want to know why they call them a Yak stick? lol. You’re getting some of our Canadian weather, John. A customer of mine from my restaurant days used to call it female weather- miserable! lol

  38. I was sure I had left a comment! (Maybe check your spam 😉 )
    I have to say I don’t blame the girls for their lack of enthusiasm to go out. I went out and ran in the rain on Thursday – but it wasn’t as cold as it was in your neck!! Crazy temps over there in Texas.
