What a beautiful July 6th Sunday evening.

The neighborhood is packed with hundreds of automobiles for the EARTH WIND AND FIRE performance over in Lincoln Park.

A steady cool, and humidless breeze – probably considered even a wind – blows across the deck, causing the windchimes to dance and singing.

The dogs, like myself, seem reluctant to let this weekend depart. I am enjoying the evening, sitting in my deck chair, away from my computer, and enjoying watching the dogs play in the backyard.

These past four days have been packed with a tremendous amount of activity: visits with dear friends from far and near, parades, fireworks, yard work, over 15 miles of walking with the dogs, and loving the beautiful weather.

It’s a good life. There’s no doubt about it.
