Monday Musings ~ August 31, 2026

~ Tails Around the Ranch

Happy last Monday in August which means we’re one day closer to autumn dropping…in a mere 22 days away. Woohoo!  Another reason for us to celebrate is that we received a small shower yesterday. While it wasn’t much, it still was something and we’ll take it.  And because it’s still Monday, while we’re celebrating the countdown and a tiny bit of moisture, we still need to start out the week with a smile. We hope you have a terrific Monday that carries over throughout the week. September…here we come!

Monday

Live, love, bark! 🐾

  1. Jen and her cats – Southeastern US – Hello and welcome. I’m an old woman who’s probably awake when she should be sleeping. Oh, and there are animals, because who doesn’t have pets?
    Jen and her cats says:

    This entire summer has gone by so fast. I ran a few errands yesterday evening after it had cooled a bit and got home around 9 pm. I kept thinking that a couple weeks ago the sun would have just been setting, but really it was almost 3 months ago.

      We typically walk at dawn to avoid the heat of the day. That’s becoming later and later. This morning I just bagged the dawn walk and fed Wilson first. We’ll go after he’s properly digested. It’ll feel strange walking with the sun shining on us. Hopefully the cool temp this morning will hold out for another couple of hours.

  2. August felt like it was here for five minutes. And now . . . September. And before we know it Halloween . . . and then . . okay I’ll stop.

    Love the rainbow funny. Hope you have a great week mama

    Happy Monday! Hope it was a great day for you and Wilson! Yay on the small shower!
    Its supposed to climb up to the 90’s all week. Ugh! Apparently Pa isn’t getting the message yet that September is here! 🙂

      We’ll be in the 80’s here but at least we don’t have the humidity.

      Glad today’s pun made you laugh. I know how much you love puns. Hope it’s been a swell day.

  5. My Golden Life – Upstate South Carolina – I love animals, especially dogs. I enjoy US history, and reading biographies of our former presidents and other historical figures. I love the music of the '60s and '70s since I was growing up in those decades. I love the Beatles and Andy Williams equally.
    My Golden Life says:

    We’ve had a bit more rain than you’ve had out there, but it comes down so hard and fast that it doesn’t have a chance to soak into the ground. We just end up with muddy paws. 😡 Oh well. As long as September doesn’t bring us any more hurricanes like Helene, I’ll be happy.

    I like that Monday Smile…it’s cute. But I didn’t know rainbows could be bad. ❓⁉️

      I think Dolly said it best. You can’t have a rainbow without a little rain. At this point we’d happily take any amount of rain. Even if it means dirty paws. Have a great week and please give the Zen kids a nice belly rub from us.

  6. Great funny! We are waiting for winter around here, hoping for a cold and snowy one. Just thinking of it helps cool us all down.

    Haha! That is a good punny!!
    If fall is in the making, why are we going to have temps in thew upper 80’s and low 90’s with high humidity this week?? Blah…
    Glad you got some rain. We had a long rain spell Sunday morning. I think we got about an inch of rain over several hours, so that was a welcome rain. I hope you’ll get some more.

      Very pleased that you liked today’s smile. I’m a big fan of puns and this one made me chuckle out loud. I don’t blame you for wondering about autumn’s arrival with those temps and worse yet, high humidity. We’re so used to our 10-15% humidity-it’s easier to tolerate though I’ pretty over giving Mother Nature a pass. I’m hoping the forecast is accurate this week-it is calling for a couple of showers and lord knows we can use it.We’re oer 5 inches down for the year so anything would be ok by me. Have a good Monday.

  8. A shower of rain…and just 22 days away…things are looking up! I think even the rainbows have to appreciate that joke, Monika…especially since the rainbows know there is no such thing as a bad rainbow.🌈 Have a great Monday!

      That’s exactly what I thought! I’m trying to be more grateful on a day to day basis. It’s just easier that way. As Dolly parton once said, “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” And I’m good with that. Have a terrific week, Bruce.

  10. John W. Howell – South Texas Gulf Coast – I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  13. BellaDharma an BellaSita Mum – On Georgian Bay..... – Welcome to THE Purrfect Pad. My name is Sherri-Ellen & my current Kitty Girl is BellaDharma a black part Siamese cat. I started blogging in August 2005 on Yahoo 360 with Mingflower my Bluepoint Siamese. Then transferred to Multiply...Mingflower went to Summerland & NYLABLUE my BluePoint Siamese/Burmese cross took over. When Multiply was closing a handful of our blogging friends recommended WordPress & we found a home here & made many new friends. Everyone followed the antics & struggles of NYLABLUE until her passing Nov. 22nd, 2014 to Summerland. A week later a little bouncing Burmese boy I met at a local adoption event joined me here! Dec. 9th, 2014. Purrince Siddhartha Henry came to live with me & regaled us with his journey towards 'Enlightenment'. He was a Burmese Buddhist with many health issues but he searched for meaning in his Life. After his lifelong struggle with Panleukopenia. Siddhartha Henry lost his battle & left for Pure Land August 28th, 2018. He was only 4 years & 1 month old. I've never totally gotten over the loss of my "Little Man". And this is where I get VERY serious. This Purrfect Pad blog is not all sunshine & roses. This blog is about REAL life with special needs cats who come into my life. We share our time together & we share the good, the bad & the ugly. This is a REAL blog. Yes we DO laugh & have fun & take Selfies! And we share each cat's struggles whether health issues or behavioural problems. And we share about my ongoing battle with 3 health conditions that can render me unable to walk plus having Cirrhosis of Liver & Seizures. We ask our friends & followers to respect that THE Purrfect Pad is anything but 'purrfect'. I am disabled & each of my cats' have had special needs. Everyone is welcome here as long as you are kind & respectful. If you have questions feel free to ask them. Sept. 6th, 2018 BellaDharma aka Baby Girl joined THE Purrfect Pad. We hope all of you will follow our life together as BellaDharma learns how to be a domesticated cat instead of a semi-feral one.... Love, Peace & Treets, Sherri-Ellen (BellaSita Mum) & BellaDharma & 'angels' Purrince Siddhartha Henry; Nylablue 'Sweet Feet' & Mingflower the Merciless & all my other cats who have shared my life with me. You are all loved & remembered...

  14. I’m not sure if I should chuckle or boo. I’ll do both, a chuckle for the rainbow and a boo for the impending end of Summer. I do appreciate Fall very much but it means that we’re that much closer to Winter, which I like about as much as kloe likes cats. 😮 But as my dad used to say, “any day above ground is a good day.” Speaking of good day, have a good set of seven in a row of them.

      You can do both, Mike. That’s the sign of a very good pun. I know you enjoy summer, lots of folks do and I say enjoy it. It’s just not Wilson or my favorite season. We’re more autumn folks. Especially if there’s some moisture in it. Enjoy a wonderful Monday! Give the Golden Girls a good belly rub from us.

After deciding to stop RVing, we bought a ranch house halfway up a hill on five acres. After Bruce and I talked about names for our five acres, we settled on Blackberry Homestead as a homage to the wild blackberries on the hill. We are working on creating our homestead. I love cooking and enjoy sharing recipes. I am also an artist, and I’ll share my current projects. Gardening and reading are my favorite hobbies.
