I unfortunately didn't get a poem written for this week's edition of Angel Sammy's Poetic Thursday Challenge, but we will resume with that next week. For today, though, Thimble is of course here for Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
Today, Thimble is grateful that we had quite a few days of window whiffies weather.
Have you all been getting to enjoy some window whiffies? We're supposed to have a couple days of storms and then hot weather again, but the extended forecast is calling for window whiffies weather again soon enough. Whew.

A lot of summertime chores bleed into autumn, and so you simply have to make them fit the season. Hence this doodle, I guess.

Tip of the Day
Today's National Disaster Preparedness Month tip is to, in the event of a disaster such as a hurricane, do your absolute best to consider the care and safety of animals who may not be your typical indoor companions. For example, do you help care for feral cats, even an entire feral colony? If so, please don't forget them in potential disaster preparedness plans.
Obviously, evacuating feral furbabies may not be anywhere nearly as easy as relocating your tame, indoor kitties or pups. However, do still do all that you can to ensure that you include ferals or strays under your care in the event of an emergency. Especially if there is a known threat of a disaster, try to find a way to access traps or other means of capturing and transporting ferals. And, of course, do your research ahead of time regarding safe areas that would be willing to take in ferals or strays in the event of an emergency. There may indeed be organizations willing to help with this feat. Therefore, also do your research in this regard and reach out to various animal rescue organizations to determine if they can offer assistance.
Another consideration to make are animals such as horses and livestock. As best as absolutely possible, try to always think ahead, even before a disaster is on the immediate horizon, and make sure that you have access to trailers and other necessities for relocating large animals. And, again, do your research ahead of time regarding where you might be able to safely relocate animals such as horses or livestock.
Trying to orchestrate the relocation of numerous animals in the event of a disaster can indeed be very daunting. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, time or resources are short. In the end, though, you have to simply do the absolute best that you can. The best way to do this is to always think ahead, be prepared, and have a plan. Make sure that you take the time to research safe options for all creatures under your care, and then, accordingly, make plans that could be implemented in the event of a disaster or other emergency.

Hooray for window whiffies! I hope you get that good weather back soon.
It's been a teensy bit chilly for window whiffies lately! Last night I even had to shut the windows!
Window whiffies are great. Nice drawing and great tips. XO
WOW Thimble, you are so lucky to get window whiffies! We used to love those here but since three kitties have asthma we have no more window time. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
