The Sights and Sounds of Yesterday Afternoon--the Perfect Summer Afternoon

This was what happened yesterday afternoon.


















Spike lay under his "other" tree in the living room.





















The new fireplace was finished.




















There were ribs on the grill.





















There were beads to clean.

Now, listen to what I heard. The cicadas were keeping up with the train! It was a wonderful afternoon!

The Perfect Summer Day

It was 73 and sunny outside. Unlike the perfect storm, this was the perfect summer day! Take a look and see what I mean.

Snug as a bug in the run? No, snug as a lot of bugs on several warm rocks.
The tree is full and green. There's lots of wonderful shade!
Spike loves being by his tree!
The newly cut grass is full and fragrant.

The daisies are at their prime!
This sweet rose is open and leaning into the sun.
This rose bush hasn't bloomed since Jenny graduated from high school-- until today!
The hens and chick are henning and chickening!
This was truly the perfect summer day!
Finally!
