DOG DAYS of SUMMER....August 24th

        

 Today it’s Monday again.  The last Monday of the month.  What will today be like?   It’s just another day like all of them.  My daily thoughts are on the kids returning to school in my area.  I looked at a news app only to see the bus driver is wearing a mask.  I find driving dangerous wearing a mask as if you wear glasses the glasses can get fogged up from the mask.  Sure they fog up but I only have walking around in store experience of getting foggy glasses not driving.  These kids will be wearing masks all day and I don’t find that a good thing to have it on for any length of time. I feel it needs to be replaced after certain number of hours worn; clean mask put on the face.   
Today’s AUGUST acrostic piece and verse is about my neighbors dog.  I enjoy watching him when he is outside.  It is entertaining as he will lay in the grass for short period of time soaking up the sun.  I decided to write about him for some reason.  Maybe because I see him everyday and he’s such a cute little fellow.  
I hope you all enjoy your day.  
Until next time....as always be safe.

   August 24th.....DAILY THOUGHTS 

Another week begins....the last Monday of 
    August....the dog days of summer will      
        soon be over  

In my area the kids are heading back to the    
    classroom....I see on a news app the bus 
     driver is masked....will kids be 
       social distanced on the bus....if so will 
         they be making more bus runs

Also read on the news app that some 
   classes will be held outdoors in one     
      area....in this heat outdoor classes 
        especially with a high heat index not a 
            good idea....I should stop 
          reading the news again for awhil

Again this morning I watch my neighbor’s 
   dog enjoying the outdoors 

Unaware I’m observing him, he gazes 
     toward my window

Glad he can’t see me staring at him as he    
     scans his surroundings

Up onto the porch he goes, then back onto 
     the grass

Soaking up the sun for brief periods, 
     barking at the cars passing by

 Till he goes back into his air conditioned     
      residence, I’ll keep peering out at him

        (For Barney, my neighbors dog)

The dog does not see me watching him 
   as I gaze through my window 
It’s early morning as he lays in the yard 
Soaking up the sun before the weather 
    becomes too hot
Intently he watches cars pass by on 
       the street 
 barks at the bicyclists going down towards the lake and the joggers hurrying past his 
     domain 
His woofing penetrates into my house 
Scurrying up on his porch for a brief few moments he laps water
  then returns to his spot in the yard
I sip my morning coffee finding I am     
   entertained 
 The dog is more interesting than the news on television
