Today was simply lovely...Autumn blue skies.

I hope it will be a nice weekend! I would rather be going on
a trip, but guess I’ll just be semi-lazy!

Hate that you have to work all weekend! Bummer!

[luvie]

Good evening/morning, CMS!!!

[TASMANIANRED]

How’s your weather?

I’ve got a 88 Lb dog sitting in the chair with me. Kinda crowded.

[TASMANIANRED]

Why don’t you yank Mr. Luv out for a picnic.

We are supposed to have splendid weather all weekend.. I’ll have to get out early to catch some of it.

[TASMANIANRED]

Is it mating season?

I understand those bucks get a bit aggressive under the circumstances.

[TASMANIANRED]

Do they have anything resembling autumn or does it go straight from hot to cold?
