Strange Weather and Elections

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow it is supposed to be 70f - 21c just for one day. We make sure our water is fresh and thawed in our birdbaths and our mini pond is clean and ready to give water to our birds that will remain. We do not feed the birds all summer as we have plants that do that. We do place out suet in the winter.

Tomorrow, I was told by Alex to either put bleach or chlorine in a sprayer and spray the deck. He says it will get rid of the slime. LOL I didn't realize I had slime but I got a cheap electric sprayer and will accomplish it tomorrow. He says it must be done before it gets cold as it needs the heat to work. Tomorrow's to do list and the 2 dog beds that are wood that I stained the smell is still evident. 

Learned how to change out the assemblies on my 2 clippers as it was not working properly. Hooray! That makes it cheaper and we do not have to drive an hour to get them adjusted and cleaned. Scissors adjusted and sharpened after Nathan returns from his trip. 

Dennis has gathered leaves 3 times thus far and the dogs have destroyed the piles. I keep telling him to mow it and create natural mulch but no one listens here. 

We still have a beyond senior that keeps barking at 6am and off and on all day. Food seems to calm him down. 

Ms. Harlow departs tomorrow to play in the country and fill her soul with fun with her Daddy. She is always missed. Today she managed to crawl under the deck after a squirrel. She arrived after a call to her as muddy as ever. Good thing she gets a bath tomorrow. It's my day off but I spent time raking the dried dirt off her. She was wet. I dried and raked. Tomorrow a bath. I didn't want to wash her 2 days in a row or she would get mighty miffed at me. She had a bath a week ago after all. 

Dogs have been playing. We did go to Rens to get the parts for the clippers and shop at Fortinos. We also dropped into Winners in Woodbridge and noticed all the stores that are out of business. Oh my. Nathan was his usual  - can we go now? He hates shopping for anything but food. I find being rushed frustrating. I mentioned Ikea and food storage bags and his eyes rolled and he said no. Ikea makes the best oversized food storage bags. I am now out. 

Will I survive elections? Depends on who wins.
