I didn’t feel like venturing out into the world, today, for my usual Friday Fun Day, so I’m enjoying the wonderful weather on the deck, Erma at my side, and listening to the audiobook, A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN OR TOO TIRED FOR AN AFFAIR by Erma Bombeck.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife.” There are few phrases as sobering, with possible exceptions of “We have lift-off” and “This country is at war.” Yet, as they have done for centuries, millions of courageous men and women continue to walk down the aisle every year, without so much as a job description. – Erma Bombeck

The yard is filled with three male cardinals playfully flitting about the yard with apparent permission from the dogs who scarcely allow an ant to invade the premises. A pair of robins were using the soft comfort of the lush grass to perform their springtime ritual; or maybe it was simply their Nooner. A variety of other birds are enjoying the deck side of The Haasienda.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

Make it a great day.
