It feels a bit muggy and there is no rain mentioned in the forecast until 3 AM Saturday morning. The rain will last most of the day interrupting my plans to spend some time at Woodland Cemetery.

Wednesday night’s Dayton Live picnic in the vast Wintergarden was fun and the potluck offerings I ate were delicious. My graham cracker sandwiches were devoured with all but a dozen remaining in each of the three large square containers.

Harrigan is under the weather. She did not eat yesterday and today and has been spending time beneath my bed. She has been drinking her water and spending time with us on the deck and in my study. Chief, however, has been more active and far less lethargic than he was on Wednesday.

Hoskins and Colonel Deeds have been playing fast and furious in the yard for a good deal of the morning. Hoskins spends time with me when we are inside, and periodically comes to visit me when I am sitting on the deck.

It’s been a lazy morning around The Haasienda. My body reminds me there is a weather front coming in and I am dealing with those uncomfortable effects. This is my first free-Friday from events with Dayton Live and it feel a bit odd, a tad empty.

It is time to do something productive besides listening to the JEOPARDY channel on Pluto.

Make it a great day!
