Too Bad Harry!

May 27, 2020

Good morning.  Temps are going to hit eighty degrees today.  Woo Hoo!  Of course, a high humidity is on its way here too.  We also have some rain headed this way in a couple days.  All the new plants will be happy for a drink.

Yesterday, I no sooner finished typing my blog post and the road service man got here.  He was very friendly and got my car started right away.  The whole thing only took a few minutes.  Until I start driving it again,  I'll need to start it and let it run a few minutes every day.

Have you seen the new message on your blog?  It says that Blogger is changing everyone's blog to a new default look. They say to try it out now to get used to it.  You'll be able to revert back to your regular look for a while, but by the end of July the new change will be in place.

I'm one of those folks that don't do well with change.  I like my old blog look.  I don't want to change it.  But like my mother always used to say, "Too bad Harry!"  I don't have a choice.  The change is coming and that is that!  Blogger says this will make it easier for us to manage our blogs.  I don't recall ever being asked (by Blogger) whether or not I was having difficulty blogging or whether I wanted anything changed.  Did they ask you?  If not, who did they ask?

On the news this morning, they were showing a video of a woman with a dog.  She was screaming at a man and threatening to call the police on him.  They were out walking and I guess the man told the woman to put a leash on her dog.  She did not take this very well. 

While the newscaster was going on and on about what the woman was doing, not once did they mention how she was abusing her dog.  She had her hand around the dog's collar and was pulling the poor dog all over the place.  She raised her arm and the poor dog was choking and could not keep it's feet on the ground.  The dog even tried to lie down on the ground to stop all this but the woman just kept dragging the poor animal around.  You could see the dog was in pain. I could not watch anymore of this and changed the channel.

**Update:  I just called the news station and mentioned how upset I was about all of this.  I was informed that the dog was taken away from the woman and brought to a shelter.  Had I kept on watching this incident I would have heard this.  I'm not sorry that I changed the channel though because I can't stand to see an animal being abused.  I'm glad that the woman can no longer hurt the dog. 

Today I thought I'd share a couple old photos.  My daughter Deanne has been taking care of all my shopping and other errands so that Pogo and I don't come in contact with Covid-19.  She has a full time job and a home and her own family to take care of too.  So today I have a couple of oldie photos of her to share.

This first photo is Deanne having fun in her sleeper blanket.  The second photo is Kerri (left) and Deanne (right).  Kerri was the mischief maker and Deanne was the peace maker.  Two happy little peas in a pod.

Now I'm going to take my little laptop out to the porch and do a bit of blog reading before it gets hot.  Before I go, let me share a photo of my blooming lilacs.  They get prettier every year.

The mail just came and I guess I'll go get that first.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
