So Im weaning myself off that dark black hole otherwise known as Facebook and maybe I'll even get around to posting here more often.  Nice I don't have to try and impress anyone here.. So... its near the end of the month and we actually have had a small stretch of almost fall weather. Didn't last long and didn't kill off the plague of mosquitoes that are eating us alive. This morning was funny cos I was awake early for a bit and damn if I didn't happen to look out the side door to see a whole family of turkeys walking right by the steps... Im talking only a few feet from the door. Then I see Trouble creeping up behind them like he's gonna attack :+) Too bad for him  Mama turkey was onto his tricks and wasn't letting him near her kids. Otherwise its spider city around here which I try to be tolerant of but over the weekend I found one the Charlottes spinning a web in the doorway to the den {{{{ shudder}}}}... I was nice tho and just transplanted her to the outdoor instead of squishing her.
On a different note I started my CNA classes this week so moving forward to get a career. In the meantime I may have to find a diff part time job to pay bills but nice to have some hope for the future job wise. In keeping with the nature theme of this blog i had to add that just as I was leaving class tonight I had a skunk run out in front of the car. Luckily I was able to avoid hitting it so Im hoping that it means the opposite of black cats luck wise. Then in thinking it over I decided just not killing an animal, albeit in that could stink up my car for weeks is pretty damn good luck for me :+)

Weather woes... Big club I know

Into the month of September now with fall, thank the good Lord, just around the corner. August was not the best of months weather wise... continuing on from July it was still stormy and soggy to record level. Had an earthquake and hurricane ( with tornadoes and major flooding) the last week of August. Joe n I went away to Indiana and Wisconsin for 6 days the week after it all and wouldn't you know there wasn't a drop of rain here while we were gone and half my plants are dead. Also warm and muggy as opposed to Wisconsin's 46 degree the day we left to come home... But in contrary nature of my life we ran into the latest tropical storm in PA on our 15 hr trip home which made the last few hours of that trip tortuous. And it hasn't stopped raining for long since we came back 3 days ago. Half of my plants are still piled up on the ground where they were put in prep for the hurricane since we left 3 days after it passed. If it ever starts to dry out maybe I can salvage whats left of them. Just can't believe that Texas has had NO rain and we just keep getting slammed... Old Mother Nature has turned very bitchy in her old age.  Here's hoping that fall will make up for this crappy summer and not have some dramatic weather too... not too much to ask that one freaking season not be psychotic is it?
