A lovely glow emerged over the eastern trees and rooflines and gave the kitchen a molten ginger glow. The projected temperature is 57 degrees and I am hoping it will be comfortable to sit on the deck for some reading or research once I finish teaching my online classes.

I am listening to an interesting documentary about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. It was posted on YouTube four years ago, one year before we were greeted by our own pandemic. I find it interesting to learn just how similar the scenarios are, most especially the food transporting issues.

Col. Deeds, upon finishing potty detail in the backyard, now races and beats Bailey and Harrigan to the deck’s door. The Sisters are still quite fast, but he is now several body lengths ahead of them. Right now, the loveable little cruise director has all four of his fellow canines, Chief included, engaged in some game in the hallway and bedroom. Deeds barks out a command, to which there is a grunted response from the others, and then I hear their paws pounding the floor throughout the rooms.

When Deeds and Harrigan chased into the study and wrestled behind me, I heard Erma grumbling. I figured she was just being a patroller. No, she was upset The Little Colonel wasn’t playing with her, too! Once he turned his attention from Harrigan, Erma was content and playful.

I need to investigate a few items for the online classes before relaxing.

As I type these last few lines, I can hear two cardinals piping away. The approach of Spring is rejuvenating.

Make it a great day!
