Things Are Really Heating Up!

My gosh, who broke the AC?  It's been sweltering at work, not so bad at home.  My yard is bare of the white stuff, finally.  Around town, it's going to take a while for those huge piles of plowed-up snow to disappear, though.  There are still several parking spots that aren't useable yet.

Not that I mind the warmer temps, it's the first time Missouri has been warmer than London, according to my little weather doodad.  But so little transition!  I had to dive for the back of the closet, find some cooler shirts.  But I can't yet put away the winter stuff.  This is Missouri.  Weather is weird.  I like weather.  I just wish I could find my backup umbrella.

I think I'm in a bit of a downswing.  It's been a real effort getting to work in the mornings.  I picked up some yarn and tried a bit of lacy cuff for a mitten, but just couldn't get much enthusiasm up for the challenges of yarnovers right at the beginning of a magic loop.  So that fledgling project got frogged.  (Dontcha just love knitting lingo?)

The puppies gave me a bit of a diversion.  Someone left my gate open, and Ty of course does a runner.  Saffron came back in when I called, so I had no idea Ty wasn't in the yard!  He often likes to stare at squirrels and refuse to come in, I figured that's what he was up to.  But finally, I needed him in, so I wandered outside and found the gate.  Arrrgh!  People sometimes drive insanely fast down the hill in front of the house, so I was a bit worried someone might accidentally flatten a small fast-moving grey dog.  I found a flashlight and a leash and headed up the road.  My plan was to listen for any upset yard dogs in the neighborhood, as Ty has a history of messing with any canine on a chain.  I didn't even get past the next house up before he tore down the street to me!  The little guy knows where the treats come from.
