Thursday – A Little Personal – Cool Weather for Twiggy and Lucy

~ John W. Howell

“Whoa, Lucy. It is cool out here.”

“Let’s just say it is cooler. Hey Boss, what is the temperature outlook for today?”

“My watch says 84 right now with a high of 97 and a low tonight of 66.” (For our metric friends, that would be 28.8, 36.1, and 18.8.)

Sounds a lot better than the 100s.”

“So Lucy. These rocks are cool as cucumbers.”

“That sun is not as hot as the last few weeks.”

“You think the world is ending?”

“No, we just have had a break in the temperatures. The 100s will be back in a week.’

“I don’t get why the weather is so changeable.”

“Well, as they say, ‘Just hang around, and it will change.'”

“Love to know who says stuff like that.”

“I think it is called conventional wisdom, Little One.”

“I’d love to meet this wisdom guy.”

“It’s not a — Oh, never mind. I’m going to see if the cabana boy is on duty.”

“I can’t believe we can be out here. This shade is great.”

“I’m with you. A little kibble and some cool drinks will make the day perfect.”

“So, where’s the kibble and drinks?”

“The cabana boy is off doing other things. So I guess we will just have to relax without the frills.”

“What are you doing?”

“Smelling the flowers.”

“That’s a plant.”

“No matter. Just enjoying life right now.”

“Doesn’t take the place of kibble and a cool drink.”

“It does if you try Little One.”

  3. Glad that you have a little break from those sweltering temps, John. Know that you and the Producer must appreciate the reprieve as much as the girls do. Now to work on the response time of that cabana boy…😂😂

  4. “Just enjoying life right now.” Wise words from Lucy.

    I enjoyed our “cold” front this week. We even have a chance for rain this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

  6. That cabana boy is slacking! At least the girls are enjoying the break in temperature, such as it is. (Still seems hot to me.) Twiggy’s understanding of “Conventional Wisdom” made me laugh.

    I hope the girls got their frills inside. Sending them ear scratches.

    1. Yup. I think global warming is off and running. We are so fortunate to have a President take control and eliminate all sources of new oil so that finally the population will no longer be able to afford to use fossil fuels. The motto: “If you can’t afford an electric car there is always a bike.”

  11. Your temps are about the same as ours right now. But we know the hot stuff is coming back soon. Twiggy and Lucy certainly have a good life. Hope that cabana boy gets back to work soon.

  13. I think Cabana Boy may have influenced the writer today. When the upper 90s are cool, you’ve been through some rough weather. I hope you have a cool holiday weekend, John.

  14. If only we all had a Lucy in our lives, we’d have a different world. 💗 BTW our area finally had rain last night. 😊

  15. You’d be wearing a sweater in my neck, John. It’s 61 and should go up to 75 this afternoon. I sure hope so. It’s a nice four-day weekend for me. Woot!
    Glad things feel a tad cooler over there, though. I’m sure the girls are not the only ones who appreciate it.

  16. And here I’ve been complaining about temps in the 90s!!! I don’t think I could breathe if it were 100°! Lucy is wise beyond her years … must take after the cabana boy! 😉 Stay cool, my friend!

      1. 105?!?!?! I would not be able to breathe!!! It was 92° here today, and I sound rather like a freight train trying to catch some air! I do hope it stays a bit cooler for you … and that the humidity isn’t high, for that seems to exacerbate the heat.

  18. I didn’t even think about the pups and the heat, and how it must bother their little paws, John. I’m glad you’re getting a little break from the heat, though that still seems really hot. Get out there with some kibble and cool drinks and enjoy the shade. 🙂

  24. Glad we could send you a wee break in the heat, John. Kind of makes the summer more bearable for people and pets. Monkey said to tell the girls we’re cooking up more heat and humidity over the holiday though.

  25. I’m glad the temperature dropped so they can enjoy those cool as cucumber rocks. Kibble and drinks would have been pretty awesome too had the Cabana Boy not been occupied.

    The back light on that frondy plant on the patio is lovely.

  26. Same weather forecast for us. Hang on… (checking your bio)… yup, I’m only about 150 miles from you.

    I love the rocks off your back patio. Just yesterday a fireman told us we should surround the house with rocks to encourage the next grassfire to go around the house rather than burn through it.

    1. That is a good idea. This is small gauge river rock. On the Texas coast we had larger river rock surrounding the house. The Northern plains of Texas can have some pretty severe fires. I would take that advice.

      1. 😎😎😎 Sounds great, dear John! I wish you more cooling wind as well. As even warm weather without wind is unbearable! Long live the Twiggy Resort! 🍤🍤🍤🍻🍻

  31. I’m glad you’re getting a break in the heat, John. Last week was unbearable, and this week, we’re back to the wind and cooler temps. Crazy weather. And what’s better than kibble and cool drinks! Have a great weekend!

  36. LOL! No kibble and cool drink? Poor little puppies!

    Cabana Boy must be off duty.
    Love the way Lucy and Twiggy get along! Do they ever play fight?
