The Cats are disgusted, not going as planned

The plan was to get up, get around and mow before the heat set in. Nope. We have a bit of a thunderstorm going on.
The kitties say "Mom, make it stop! It is wet."
I was going to mow first, then clean up and go into Marion to renew my driver's license, and run in the store for a thing or two.
I do not believe there is much rain. Just enough to make the beasts uncomfortable. I guess my latest plan is to be online until the rest of the world opens for business. At that time I will get dressed and take care of my chores in Marion. Maybe I will get to do yard work later.
For breakfast I had one sausage patty and two potato pancakes or potato patties. Whatever your house calls them. The potato patties start with left over mashed potatoes. Add flour or self rising flour if you have it. Some pepper. And eggs. Stir it up to a gloppy, not runny consistency and fry on a hot griddle. I made a bunch the other day as they keep well.
So it is not 6 a.m. yet, but I had best get to earning some pennies.

We finally got some rain and are glad for it. Our pears were falling off our tree and our new flower garden was crying out for some moisture! I hope it cleared up for you. Enjoy your day. P. S. My husband likes the potato pancakes that you grate the potatoes and fry them up.

You are industrious staring before 6AM Heather. More power to you.

I hope it's finally sunny there so you can get things done. Kitties are so picky, they should be grateful they're not feral.

Hope the rain doesn't interfere too much with your plans for today.
We have sunshine and it's actually pretty nice. Tomorrow looks like a nasty day so I'll enjoy the sun today. My excitement for today is to catch up on the laundry

7:30am here and only 17°C/63°F so would be perfect for mowing the lawn, but I want to go to the Centre this morning. Maybe in the afternoon. I've had my meds and first cuppa, and am about to make another and toast a bagel.

We keep trying to get the yard all mowed but it keeps raining here, too. We've got about half of it done right now. It isn't raining here, yet, but it's cloudy and nasty looking outside. We have an 100% chance of rain according to the forecast. I guess we won't be mowing today, either.
We call those potato cakes. We both like them but don't make them very often. Today might be a good day to make a batch of them, though.
I've been watching the original Jumanji. I've never seen it before but am about halfway through it.
I hope you enjoy your day.

Animals don't tend to like thunderstorms. Poor kitties.
