The house is a bit stifling, and at 74 degrees, it will quickly rise to 86 within a few hours and topped by an expected rain around 2 PM. I slept on the deck until 4 AM, rose, and went to my bed where Harrigan and Hoskins waited for me on my pillows.

Sunday and Monday were filled with terrific lessons and two new students. Several students are involved with Epiphany Lutheran Church’s summer production, INTO THE WOODS, which opens this week.

Monday’s lunch was spent with my friend, Mary Lowman, at Applebee’s. It was a good lunch and made even more so by the company.

The deck was my haven until time to teach and the pooches loved having me back home. I shall be away for a few hours, this morning, and hopefully home before the rain arrives.

I will house manager the Kettering College graduation on Friday morning and evening, and on Saturday evening, I will return to Schuster for the Pete Davidson tour.

It is time that I need to move on with my day.

Make it a great day!

“Over Hill, over dale” from William Shakespeare’s A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

A wood near Athens. A Fairy speaks. 

Over hill, over dale, 
Thorough bush, thorough brier, 
Over park, over pale, 
Thorough flood, thorough fire
I do wander every where, 
Swifter than the moon’s sphere; 
And I serve the fairy queen, 
To dew her orbs upon the green: 
The cowslips tall her pensioners be; 
In their gold coats spots you see; 
Those be rubies, fairy favours, 
In those freckles live their savours: 
I must go seek some dew-drops here 
And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear. 
Farewell, thou lob of spirits: I’ll be gone; 
Our queen and all her elves come here anon.
