I’ve enjoyed a day entirely free of any business, emails, purging items for Goodwill, and other household needs.

Mama Kay delivered my China Cottage order and the Cottage vegetables and hot and sour soup hit the spot.

I made a vegetable stew from a zucchini, cucumber, pepper, chicken broth from my friend, Nicole, and added in rice, diced tomatoes, onion, celery and spices. Yes!

I almost grabbed my camera and took the bus to downtown. I’ve sorely missed taking photos and visiting my favorite haunts. I miss Carillon Park, too.

But, I need to exercise strict caution.

I can do it.

Thankfully, friends’ photos keep me photographically abreast of RiverScape, Dayton buildings and events, and the eagles at Carillon Park. I really appreciate seeing these places through their lenses.

I am attaching several favorite photos of places where I enjoy spending time.
