Update on Thomas’ Passing

The preliminary cause of death has been declared “Respiratory Failure.” They will perform an autopsy tomorrow and we hope to know more 24-48 hrs. afterwards. I hope we get some much needed information from it.

DH and I are doing good. His father is still in the hospital and will hopefully be released to go home in a few more days. We’ll check in tomorrow and see what’s going on with him.

Not much going on here except that our ant problem has returned — in the same place — underneath my built-in stovetop. They’re actually coming in through a crack between the floor of the cupboard and the back of the cupboard. A space so small that I doubt you could slip a piece of paper through the crack, but they pop up and out like it was nothing. So out comes the pots and pans, in goes the new ant bait — clean all of the counters with 409 and wipe everything down. DH took out two ant hills in the front yard the other day. I told him it was payback! 😉 And we’re seeing signs that our mole is back in the back yard. Our little feline neighbor has been alipping…I also saw a lizard sunning himself on one of the posts out on the deck the other morning. Laying there like he hadn’t a care in the world… Going to have to have a heart-to-heart with Carl if this keeps up.

The weather is a-changing — Fall is trying to appear; our evening temperatures are dropping down into the 60’s and there’s a nip in the air in the early mornings that speaks of pumpkins and frost. Nice… I think I’ve had enough of Hot Summer Days…

Be safe, be well, and please be happy. Be sure to tell those you love that you love them.
