In Turkey Creek and the surrounding countryside,
at around about the same time every day, thunder clouds roll in and the heavens open up to let loose an impressive quantity of water,
the downpour can last for hours.
I sit on one of the porches and take in the thunder and lightening, the noisy and showy display that cools the air and puts the compressor out of a job.
If the crazies we share this house-on-stilts with need a walk we have to take them out because they’ve got to make room for din-dins.
Four times a day they mark territory, assert top-doggedness and chase cats.
Rain,
…or shine!
Anytime…
As stand-in owners we are called to go with them because they’re not allowed out by themselves, something to do with fellow critters,
Opossums, armadillos, squirrels, Gopher tortoises, cows…
…alligators!
The two of them give me the perfect excuse to go splashing around in water,
outside!
Dogs release my inner child!
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
