Good-bye July. You were very hot and dry with some scorcher days that we did not like, and per our usual request, wished you would have given us some rain. Summer’s half over and while this makes us happy, at the same time it makes us a bit sad. Another summer winding down spent working, working, working, and clearly, without enough time to spend at home standing guard over wary Rainier cherries. Pia says she’ll keep an eye on them. Uh, yeah. Right.

07/29/2024 – Enjoying Today

In a rare moment outside her box, Viola takes in a bit of sun. But not too much. Just sun stripes.

Mom really, really wanted to take today off from work, but that wouldn’t go over so well with the higher ups. So she’s working as usual, thinking about making much needed money today and knowing she’ll feel better about saving the time off for later in the year. Most importantly and secretly, in her mind at least, she’s home having a good day with Viola taking in a stripey, limited dose of sun.

Have a good day yourselves!

07/26/2024 – The Hots

It’s hot, Mom. I don’t think I like this.

You’re fine, Quint. We’re all okay. It’s only hot outside, not in here.

Yes, it’s hot. It is the end of July, after all. We keep all our blinds closed this time of year and keep our temperature inside at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, though sometimes (and don’t tell Dad), she bumps it up to 76. We don’t go any higher because it affects Dad’s MS and because we don’t want melty cats left and right.

Meanwhile, Tessa’s melting onto the fleece blanket. Thanks, Tessa. You’re really “helping” to make our case here.

Mom, don’t get all excited or anything, but I think I might be open to a fur trimming.

Whoa, mark your calendars, people!

So what if it’s warm? All I need is a tasty box and I’m fine.

Thanks, Viola. You always have the right thing to say.
