Well, it was humid and close to 90 degrees here today. The Spring that took forever to come has now turned into August. The cats are miserable. I'm miserable. And cranky. I'm muttering under my breath about the Regressive Party folks who are still stalwartly insisting - tornadoes, floods and unusual temperatures to the contrary - that Global Climate Change is a mythological Progressive plot to defaud the poor mis-treated oil industry and others from reaping obscene profits instead of just lots and lots of profit. I'm not feeling particularly grateful about stuff today, though I am grateful that in a week or so, the Delaware Opportunities folks will - among other things - put a ceiling fan in my bedroom. I bought it from Amazon.com but they will install it as part of the electrical work they are doing. Can't wait for that. In the back yard, Greedy George emptied the seed feeder and made away with the one with suet in it. Or somebody made away with it. I heard the noise last night but only discovered what it was this morning. No pictures of birds or anybody today. It was too hot and they all apparently decided to hang around the nest or in the shade of trees. So here are some pictures of Angel looking cute as ever and my gratitude. No pictures of Tara again. Both casts are suffering. Angel's fur is still think and skinny as Tara is, she seems to be feeling the heat. Me too. And after 33 years in a NYC apartment that wasn't air conditioned, it takes a lot for me to complain about heat.... things like August weather in May. At midnight as I type this, it's still close to 70 degrees. In MAY. Grrrr.
Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an attempt to let the Universe know some of the things I really, really, really, really want in hopes that it will take pity on me and give me stuff.)

Wow! The weather here is hot too - but not like yours. Your kitty pics are still lovely - can;t get enough cat pics. Delaware Opportunities sounds like a very fine organisation - I'm not sure we have anything like that over here. Is it a charity or something?
A belated Wordzzle is on its way....
