Run Poppy, Run

Today started out cold and foggy but it improved from there to sunny and warm.  Won’t be too many more days like this so we are enjoying them to the max. 

We’ve been waiting for a plumber to show up for a couple of days and he finally came this morning.  Now we have hot water in our bathroom again.  Woo-Hoo!!  Yesterday, all we did was wait and Poppy was not happy about it.  She has it in her mind that she needs to go somewhere every single day.  If she doesn’t get her ride, she gets pushy.  She will tell anyone who will listen how abused she is.

So while we waited for the plumber who never showed up yesterday, we played a couple of rounds of Go Poppy, Go!  This game consists of me standing on the deck and clapping my hands and yelling “GO, Poppy, GO!”  Poppy’s role is to run out the sliding glass door, onto the deck, down the steps (without going headlong into the pool), thru the pool gate, across the lawn, in through the pet door, through the house and back out to the deck!  She loves this game and I am so happy to see her feeling well enough to participate.  It helps keep her happy when we can’t go out for a ride.

You can tell we (and she) are easily entertained!!  In fact this morning we were entertained by spider webs.  The fog we have been getting each morning causes heavy dew to collect in the spider webs.  Since it is so close to Halloween, it looks kinda neat.

This one in the front yard looks like that phony stuff you  stretch over your yard to scare little children.  It isn’t – it’s the real deal.


And I thought this one from the backyard looks like a lace pattern one might find on a child's pinafore.



This one was high overhead in a tree in the park.



See, I told you we were easily entertained.  Our final entertainment for the day will be watching the Ducks take on the AZ. Sun Devils at 6 p.m. tonight.  They are playing in Tempe and we have had a few problems there in the past.  My Sis and her hubby are there to cheer on the Ducks so hopefully we will have something to cheer about.  GO DUCKS!!

Now if you all would like some nice entertainment, hop on over to Barbara’s blog at Me and My Dog.  Barbara has been posting some of her favorite pictures from the past to celebrate her 200,000 page views.  She has some fine ones.  Also, Weavers, did a great post on their last year of full time travel.  Al and Kelly are anxious to hit the road but Kelly has been sick.  Now Al is down too!!  Daggone it.  John has a new car but he hasn’t gone very far in it yet.  And Rick is on his own for a few days…apparently without any cookies.  Hey Rick, look in your computer.  I always find cookies there!!  And RV Sue and Nina and Paul are both in a favorite area of mine around the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine and Bishop, CA.

I know a lot of  you snowbirds are getting ready to hit the road or at least are making plans that way.  I hope you all have safe journeys and a whole lotta sunshine.
