It hasn't rained since last week. It's amazing how I always know when it's coming so I come out and wait to get a drink of water in the puddles that collect so fast. It's like I'm a Hardshell Weather Station. But right now all indications say: Hunker Down.
I'm due for my pre-hibernation check-up next month, so I hope we get a little rain to cool things off. Then I can come out to eat and drink at the all-you-can-eat backyard buffet. If I don't weigh enough, I don't know what Dr. Johnson will say. I sure do NOT want to spend another winter indoors, even though it was quite a culturally uplifting experience last winter. But you know how I feel about snuggling in the old burrow for the winter. It's the BEST!
