Hmm, I was so sure we would have Indian Summer. As Dennis and I started picking up the yard and getting ready to button it up for winter, we never had a chance to work without a jacket and gloves.
When I opened my eyes this morning I was lying on my right side in bed and facing north. For some time I watch the boughs of the large evergreen swaying in the wind. It was tranquil. It was comforting. Several Morning Doves flitted among boughs. Peaceful.
Today Dennis and I are traveling north. We will be at Michael’s viewing this afternoon and evening. It seemed to be the wisest to stay overnight in Hutchinson and travel on to Glencoe for the funeral tomorrow. No doubt it will be a time to take in some somber visitors as well as those who can bring to mind a remembrance that will bring a smile and no doubt laughter. It will be a good thing.
Dennis is preparing the patio porch for his kids to spend some time alone. Fresh litter box, plenty of food and water will be at hand. On the down side is if they all decide to make an appearance into the patio porch before we leave. The cats have the run of the yard at their will. They generally show up at curfew time to spend the night in their boxes. If some need to spend the night outside, it will be just that much sweeter when we return tomorrow towards evening and the open doors will welcome them home.
I feel good this morning. My headache has subsided. It’s a good thing.
