A lot of people are saying that they no longer like to read newspapers or watch the late night news. They say that all the news is bad. It is about crime, tragedies and politics. But I feel it is important to stay informed. You don’t have to react to these stories in a negative way. There are two sides – or more – to every story. Maybe it is a flag that we should heed that means someone needs attention to fix or change!

Part of me thinks that it might have been a little cruel to do this to a little kitten. But if they did it patiently and humanely, it is actually kinda cute!

I love the Fourth of July. We always get to gather around family and friends, eat good food and celebrate the night with fireworks. I only remember one Fourth of July that is rained. I believe they just shot off all the fireworks the next night. So we got an extra day to celebrate our country’s birthday!

The weather forecast for this entire weekend is Hot Hot Hot. The temperature will be at least 100 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Then when you add humidity to the air, the temperature will feel more like 106 – 110 degrees.

This is too hot for me to do anything outdoors unless I really have to. The yard needs mowing and weed whacking, but I’ll have to do that very early in the morning or wait another day or two. The problem with cutting grass early is that it not only disturbs the neighbors but the dew on the grass makes the cut uneven and clogs the mower.
