Sunset?

With our house sitting twisted to true north, you can only see the light from the sitting sun. The house and the clouds show us the last light of the day.  The house on the right even shows how high the sun is still in the sky.

It was an unusual cloud formation of which a meteorologist probably could name with an unusual identification label.

Heads of the sunflowers are swelling with developing seeds. It distorts the shape of them some as they bow with the weight of the seeds.  The pattern is amazing as the rows of seed can be seen. There is a mathematical term for the pattern of the seeds and once I get the info together I will be showing that.  The design is a God's perfect design which is evident in a lot of things in our created world.

The air is needed in our house as Barney really does need the house to be cooler than what humans want.  I now have a fan blowing on him  all night as he sleeps, to keep him perfectly comfortable. In the morning ,with it being cool outside, our house is just plain cold.  I heat the living room with the fireplace when it is like that.  It doesn't take ten minutes to get the room comfortable. Barney of course thinks it is too warm, so finds a cold hardwood floor to lay on to rest.

There are a combination of reasons the dog needs it to be colder but we want to make it good for him.  His walking around has improved the past few days.  He still can get down in is back legs as the day goes on, and he struggles to get up to move.  He and I have a routine down now that helps him get on the ramp to the steps and then up two steps.  Now that he has learned the new routine is less painful for him, he requires a lot less living by me and more of his jumping one step at a time.  Barney is over 14 years old now and its is tough for border collies at that age.

I am running in low gear today so not much will be done by me today  I am picking the pumpkins today and clearing the dead vines.  We never have pumpkins for Halloween but maybe this year we can do something with them. They are gourds I understand but preparing them for pie filling seems like too much work for an older person like me.

I need to stop the chatter today.  I am glad our Florida blog person living alone is safe and sound. It was a tough season for her and in-laws took her to their conccrtet home.  That was so great as she was not along nor in harms way.  Her cottage survived and trees limbs will need to be removed for a long time.  She had flowers trying to squeeze out some blooms inspire of all the rain.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great Monday, everyone.
