It’s moving on 5:00 PM on this lovely afternoon that consists of slightly cooler temperatures and a beautiful bright blue sky with a slight breeze moving the tree branches and wind chimes.

Thursday and Friday, I accomplished a lot of cleaning, rearranging items, cleaning out and organizing the guest bedroom closet. I also purged some items from the basement and attic.

Deck time has been somewhat limited due to some chillier weather passing through. While I miss being on the deck, the less ideal temperatures have afforded me the motivation to accomplish things I’ve wanted to get to all summer.

I’ve decided to move my personal sleeping quarters to the guest bedroom while leaving my clothes and other items upstairs. It’s so much easier for me and Chief to not have to move up and down the stairs.

I’ve two twin beds in the guest bedroom and a king-size bed upstairs; should there arise a need for guests, I’m set either way.

The Quartet seems to love this arrangement, as well. The Sisters, Harrigan and Bailey, sleep with me or on the additional twin bed.

I have this very nice, thick chaise lounge cushion that Chief uses and Erma’s doggie bed slides under my bed.

When Erma is ready for bed or a nap, she pulls her bed out.

For lunch, I made spaghetti with some spicy sausage, onion, zucchini from Nicole Melin’s garden, and sauce. I have to admit, it was quite good and a bit feel-good with this less hot weather.

Today has been been a mix of household productivity and research productivity. While the afternoon and evening temperatures remains agreeable I plan to camp out on the deck.
