Almost forgot about the reminder tonight. I am officially over this heat. I am over global climate change. I am really over all the idiots who continue to deny it. Even if they doubt the science, what exactly is the downside of improving the health of the planet. But I grumble. Sorry. Just came from a visit to Huffington Post where people were writing nonsense about climate change. And it humid and 70 degrees at 1 am. I wonder, now that I've crossed over into old age, have I automatically become a curmudgeon? Is it like crossing a river and one day you are reasonably good natured and the next you are a cranky old bat? I hope not. Even my cats are cranky, so maybe it's the weather and not me.
Visiting birds remain scarce and even the chipmunk didn't show up this afternoon (not while I was watching, anyway). There were some nice turkey vultures that flew fairly low. I think I might have had something interesting to say at one point today but whatever it was has fled, so I'll just do gratitude and spare you any further reading.
Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, a not-so-subtle plea to the Creative Forces of the Universe to lavish abundance on me and let me rejoice in sharing it and spending it and not worrying about bills from now to forever.) Universe, I thank you for
