Warm morning, wild afternoon and evening. Once again we know it's coming. Right when kids will be leaving schools, workers will be returning home. Hail, wind, possible tornadoes. Just in case I did not already feel it to be a crazy week, what with Millie sick, some of the young family sick, we are definitely ending it all with one massive bang. On the upside, we are ending it! The week of floods, damaging storms, crazy swings in temperatures ends today. We'll be dealing with other weather issues -- a deep freeze possible on Sunday! Being a bit of a weather nut in general, I haven't much credibility with my family when I warn them of impending weather hazards, but this time, if anything, I understated the threats. Can't wait for it to be behind us.
I also cannot wait for Millie's digestive system to settle down. She is better. Much better. She slept the night and ate some food this morning. But she is far from recovered. I already have had two chas with the vet's office and they will be calling me again to monitor her progress.
Millie and I did have a lovely morning walk. Not too far -- the girl hasn't much strength in her right now, but it was early and the sun was poking through a morning mist and the grass sparkled with dew. Really sparkled. A million tiny jewels all around us! The pup's face and paws got wet from it and she looked positively charming with her damp strands of hair around her snout.
After her light breakfast, she settled at my feet while I ate mine. With a special candle adding a glow of hope (it's the one I bought from the shop by the Luxembourg Gardens).
And then it's couch time for the both of us.
Millie is a tired girl. She wakes up, I give her a second small meal, I walk her...
... she sleeps. That's her pattern for today. Me, I was supposed to pick up Snowdrop, but the nasty weather is attacking us just at her pick up time so I have to leave it to her parents to figure that one out. They live five minutes away from her school. I live a good 20.
And so Millie and I wait for the storms to hit us. Once again, I'm posting early, because with these storms, the electricity is suddenly an iffy thing.
Let's get the weekend onto a peaceful track already! Phew!
with so much love...
