I reached home by 2:00 PM and decided to take a nap rather than eat lunch.

So, nap I did. I woke at 3:00 PM, and attended to a few items around the house before feeding The Quartet and moving to the backyard to begin the mowing. I mowed the back and front yards, transplanted four hostas to the front yard since they’re not seen nor enjoyed in the back yard, watered the new transplants and flowers in front, rehung a shower curtain on the back deck that serves as a sun cover in the evenings, and settled down to some soup before joining a Zoom presentation on the Marys in Robert Todd Lincoln’s life.

The weather is gorgeous and so very comfortable. I am hoping to continue my time on the deck during the Zoom presentation.

Chief and The Sisters are surveying the yard while Erma lounges beside me. The sweet girl rarely leaves my side and continues to occasionally rest her chin on my thigh to let me know I am loved.

I looked up and the clouds were not appealing. I checked my weather app and discovered it is intended to rain by 8:30 PM, so I quickly packed up and moved indoors to my study.
