We went from extremely warm weather down to the high 30's right now. Tonight will be around freezing. The wind chill is worse, because it is very windy. My dog loves it. My son's dog is not a fan. He is a smooth haired dog, and he is old. I filled his dog house with fresh straw. I will bring both of them in after while. I mainly feed them outside. They spend as much time outdoors during the day, as they can. After supper though, they are both in for the evening. I like to bring them in for an extended nap for bad weather though. My dog at this point is not afraid of storms. I am very happy about that, and I hope it stays that way. My last dog was terrified of storms. Any thunder whatsoever, no matter how far off would freak her out. She didn't like heavy rain, or high wind either. She knew it was often a sign of thunder.
I am soooo relieved the storm has passed here. The water was almost as high as I had ever seen it here. But I didn't go out later before bed to see how high it actually was. This morning it has receded. I was shocked at how cold it was this morning, and that it was so windy. Later today I will pass by the river, and see where the level is. My friends have land out on the river, and they are going to move there before too long. Their house though, will be built way up high, away from the water's edge.
