Good morning GH.  Current temperature on the desktop is showing 46 degrees.  We are expecting mid fifties today along with some high winds.  Tonight,. the National Weather Service is predicting a freeze.  That assumes you live in Grand Rapids and not near the Big Lake as they call it here.  Time will tell.  Sugar the Weather Dog  is once again still abed, so as the harbinger of things to come weather wise  she is predicting no big storms on the horizon.  A quick look out the Weather Window shows that sunrise is nearly here and the street is starting to dry, so I guess that it rained here overnight.   Mary suggested that I was a little off on the pencil lines I had drawn on Ragus for her spots and things, and I probably was.  I have always had a problem with spatial placements.  Fortunately for me, Mary covered them up with additional paint and I get a do over on them all.  This time, I'll let her point, Mary, not Ragus.  Nice day in the pool at the Y yesterday afternoon.  A good thing for me and for the day as a whole.  Yesterday, Mary, Sugar the Weather Dog, and I walked to the dog groomer where we dropped off Sugar the Weather Dog to be washed, brushed and get a pedicure.  According to the groomer, they got a pile of hair from Sugar that was quite large in scale.  I think she was over due.  Best of all, Sugar is once again white and soft.  She came back exhausted from the whole experience and had to take a nap.  Otherwise, not much scheduled for today.  More guitar, some reading, and perhaps I can get some painting done.  Right now, as you may have already guessed, it is.....Tea time.
