“Wow, that was some storm last night. Look at our tent.”
“Yeah, and it is chilly out here. Hey dad. What’s the temperature.”
“Right now, it is 58 degrees (14.4C) but was 46 (7.7C).”
“Way too cold for outside play.”
“Hey, Mom, open up. A couple of freezing fur kids out here.”
“Tempeste. Dad will let us in.”
“Now, this cozy office is more like it.”
“I suppose you are right. That air was a little brisk. I need to find a toy.”
“There are a lot of choices. What’s that?”
“I have Mr. Eel. I haven’t played with him in ages.”
“Now what?”
“I’m giving Mr. Watermelon a look-see.”
“This is like watching a bee go from flower to flower.”
“Mr cheeseburger looks like he might need a friend.”
“You two okay in here?”
“Yes, Dad. Twiggy is making up her mind on which toy to play with.”
“Okay, so I see you are looking at Mr. Butterfly.”
“I always enjoy playing with Mr. Butterfly.”
“Does this mean you are settled, and I can choose a toy now?”
“Oh yes. Be my guest.”
“You won’t believe me if I told you I wanted to play with Mr. Butterfly.”
“Oh yes, I would. It is like everything else I play with. You want it the minute I touch it.”
“I resemble that remark.”

That is chilly! We’re chilly as well. It’s down to 22 degrees F right now and will get just a wee bit colder later in the morning. I’m with the girls in finding a warm cozy spot to hang out in!

We are bouncing all over the thermometer this week, John. It was 81 yesterday, but 26 Monday morning. Personally, I’m looking forward to leaving the 70s and 80s behind. This is the time of year for 50s and 60s.

It was obvious my little rescue, Izzy never had had a toy till he moved in with us. Now he obsesses over them. I take them all off my bed in the morning. He moves them right back as soon as I make the bed. As the day progresses, he roughs up Bud’s side of the bed and hides them under his covers. Once we go to bed, he keeps moving them through the night. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with his favorites. One is a dried out roundsteak bone and the other a dessicated sharp rib bone. Bud is put in the trash several times to no avail. It always reappears.
