My guys and gals

We have sunshine for the first time in several weekends.  Mind you, I am not complaining about the rain.  I will never again complain about the rain.  But it is nice to see the sunshine and my friends are enjoying themselves.  Even Princess Abby is laying out in the sun.  It has been too wet to cut the grass and with no lawn grass, I have the winter grass coming up and getting pretty tall--about 6 to 8 inches.  Jock and Duncan are having a ball running through it.  Daisey joins in, but she is too big to play with them and scares them.  I keep Missy and her together and they really enjoy playing in the sunshine.  I'll have to give up and cut the grass around Monday.  I wish I could leave it, but it will start to die real soon.  Hopefully, I did not lose any trees last summer.  They all seem to be putting on new buds.  However, I am afraid they can't survive another summer like last summer in Texas.  I am not sure I can.  I would lay awake planning how I would evacuate my animals if necessary.  I have decided to buy a cargo van just for that purpose.  I won't be caught where I have to leave them.  I was also afraid to go to sleep last summer because I was afraid of wildfire.  Everyone was on edge because we were all affected by the wildfires.  Wildfires are a great equalizer.  The fire does not care if you are rich or poor, live in the country or the city. It is equal opportunity destruction.
