Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day.
It is sunny with a full on powder blue sky and there is a breeze wafting in through the office window.
Making this the most perfect Saturday morning.
Today June 20, 2020.
Hey 20, 20 20.
Cool.
Just realized that ….. okay slow to the party!
What can I say?
Added bonus I can hear the music of birds drifting in the breeze through my window.
Well we had a great Friday.
In the morning one of our neighbours and friends stopped by with Starbuck coffee for a little visit.
Alvin and I went for a walk at noon.
After work I cooked my first of three new meals from Good Food.
It was yummy.
After supper we walked over to our friends down the street.
We spent just over three glorious hours swinging on their patio swing.
Alvin sat in between us here and there.
He ran around the back yard not as much as previous year.
He was more content to just walk around sniffing.
Somehow in this immaculate yard he managed to find a bone of some sort tucked into the bed of river rocks under their deck.
The deck is off their dining room so it is raised and you take stairs up from the backyard.
Anyway, he found that darn bone.
We managed to get it away from him, not an easy task once he has his jaws secured.
In the beginning it was just me, Alvin and Irene.
A few minutes later her husband and our friend Norbert came down and joined in the conversation.
We had a great time.
Alvin loves them.
Norbert tried getting him to run after a ball he found in their shed but he was not really interested.
The train has left the station in that regard or at least most days.
It was so nice to sit outside in a private backyard enjoying great company on a Friday night.
They have the most lush and most delectable colour of green lawn that I have ever seen.
In 2020, the June solstice occurs on Saturday, June 20, marking the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
So what that means for us, is the longest day of the year.
Perhaps it might be close to 11 p.m. before the sun actually goes completely “to bed” and darkness befalls us.
Well on this longest day of the year.
It will be the usual suspects …. laundry, putz in the yard and garden, bit of cleaning.
RELAXING.
I see that on my calendar.
A walk sooner or later.
Likely later.
Supposed to be a warm one today.
Time to go and put on the coffee pot.
Get this party going.
Okay perhaps not quite anyone’s idea of a party but let’s get this going …..
Have an awesome day.
Remember to laugh and relax.
So some chores.
Perhaps help someone outside your household with a task or chore.
Living with kindness and respect.
As we continue our day living with kindness and respect,
I almost forgot to mention this good news.
Just as we were leaving last night to go out …. Humphrey’s Mom announced the newest member to their family.
A baby kitten name BOGART.
Welcome to our family and neighbourhood “little one.”
I see visits in our future for sure.
Happy Days.
I/We shall remain,
As Always, Carol & Alvin
Oh, no another photo subject !!!
