It appears the smoke is back and thicker than normal.

Finished another bathmat. Grilltech has been hinting he wants a rug to put in front of the back door.

Started the giftmas presents. Only four (?) more sets to go.

I'm dog sitting for an hour or two. Much like the cats, he won't look at me when I have a camera in my hands.

Winds of Change

What a difference a day makes. After weeks of smoke, the winds have came in and cleared the sky.

Can You Breathe?

How bad is it outside?

Hopefully the winds tomorrow will do some clearing.

Monday, Monday

It was a good - busy, but good - weekend. On Saturday, Perky and I was out running errands. Every time we passed a yard sale sign, she would pout and that I never-ever-ever take her to yard sales. so a block from the house I pull over at one. They didn't have anything that looked terribly interesting, but I did notice a sign that said furniture for sale in the house. I bought us a new-to-us couch and matching chair. It was an estate sale, so they were happy to part with them. Plus both are in excellent shape.

Saturday night, Grilltech took me out to watch the Perseid shower. Perky and Kommadant came with us and seemed to enjoy themselves. While we was setting up, a long one streaked across the sky. I believe the total count for the night was 20+.

Grilltech spent all day Sunday running a Malifaux tournament. Since he was running it, he didn't play and yet he still managed to have a good time. He came home with a bag of holding, which I promptly stole. I showed him my bag which is looking pretty ratty from wear, so he was okay with me taking it. And I promised to buy him a replacement on on Friday.

Amber Tuesday

Today at 0530, the eastern sky was still very dark. Orion was sitting close to the horizon, so the group of stars I thought was the Pleiades, was. I guess fall is on its way here, but too bad the heat hasn't gotten the memo yet. Today is suppose to be about 104. It's too hot to do karate, yes, I know I could do it in the house where it's cool but I'm not.

On Saturday, us girls went to see Snow White and the Huntsman. I have a serious problem with movies that show the heroine being locked in a tower most of her life suddenly picking up a sword and knowing how to fight with it. Plus my serious loathing of magpies... I did like Chris Hemsworth, he was handsome and breath taking. And Charlize Theron? There are no words to express my admiration of her skills.

On Sunday, I made banana bread. Instead of using regular milk, I changed things up and used chocolate. The bread is quite good, but not as chocolaty as I wanted. The next time, I'll add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder to see how that turns out.

Last night we finished watching V second season and wow! I love how they worked some of the original actors into the story line. I'm bummed it didn't make it another season. Of course, I'm watching all my shows on DVD or Netflix. Hmm I went to see if I could find the fist season on Amazon, and they want 25 bucks for it! I only paid 10 for the second.
