We're still waiting on the rain, and I personally am hoping it washes all of the ragweed pollen out of the air because it is really kicking my butt. I'm on Sudafed and allergy eye drops.

The thrift store had lots of puzzles this time and I loaded up. Not bad to come home with 8 puzzles for $15, five of them 300 piece puzzles and three with more.

This morning I finally got back to walking the dogs before I fed them, and we all enjoyed the exercise. I don't know why it has been such a challenge to walk them in the mornings, now that it's cooler (though this week - humid). The pecan trees are starting to drop nuts and two of the dogs really like those. I roll the nut under my shoe to crack it and pick off the shell then hand out pieces. Cookie doesn't know this routine yet (last year was terrible for pecans). Back in the old days my pitbull Cinnamon used to crunch them shell and all. She and Poppy and Zeke would root around and I'd race to pick them up and get off most of the shell.
