Good morning GH.  I was greeted by cloudy skies this AM as I looked out the Weather Window.  Current desktop temperature is 66 degrees. Sugar the Weather Dog is still lying on the floor, so she hasn't any sense of impending severe weather.  Yesterday afternoon, she ran to the downstairs bathroom and we thought that it was weather related, however, upon further review, we decided it was fireworks.  I feel so sorry for her, because she knows she is scared and she doesn't really know why.  Today, I plan to go to the local dog food store for a collar for Ragus, and also to the local big box hardware and lumber store for a plastic trowel to do the cement work I have planned.  Then it is off to the Y for an afternoon swim session.  Both of these journeys are planned for a bicycle.  I may sneak in a stop at the beach, depending on the Y.  I also have to call my student for the reading program and set up a meeting with him for one evening this week.  I am excited that I can finally begin to be a help to the community.  Overall, my day is beginning with Cheerios and apples and a walk for Sugar the Weather Dog.  She needs the walk and so do I.  However, as ou can imagine, that is after...Tea time.  Oh, by  the by, I tried to include a picture of my horseradish garden in the blog today.  My first foray into picture posting obviously didn't go well.  Maybe tomorrow.
