My bagel and tea are consumed and now I’m just relaxing and listening to nature and Shroyer Road’s traffic mixing it up. The sky is clear and the temperature comfortable.

I have an early shift at the park and then a free afternoon and evening. I’d like to head somewhere with my camera but the upper eighties is to be expected for the final temperature of the day.

The Quartet is relaxed one minute, chasing a trespassing squirrel another moment, or greeting a dog and owner walking along the Rockhill Avenue sidewalk beside Mama Kay’s yard.

As I look across the backyard, I may give it a swipe with the mower, this afternoon. We’ve been forecast with 95% chance of rain for Thursday and that will send the grass shooting up a bit more than I prefer it to be.

On with the day. Whatever your day holds for you, be sure you make it a great day.
