Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation, and across the world. It is just after 6:00 a.m. in "The City."

The sun will rise this morning @ 6:04 a.m. and it will set later @ 9:26 p.m., just like yesterday.

According to the NWS, the current outdoor temperature is 51° under clear skies, while my DTWS shows 52º on the front porch and 51º on the deck. Also according to the NWS, winds of 5 mph make it feel like 49°.
  .   
The forecast from the NWS calls for today's high to be 74º under sunny skies with a relative humidity index of 47%. That 72º mark is 6º warmer than yesterday's high temperature. Currently, no rain is falling and there is a 5% chance for rain today. The overnight low tonight is forecast to be 56º.

According to my DTWS, the barometric pressure is 29.77", while the NWS is reporting 30.39". Generally, those readings, indicate clear weather ahead. If the NWS forecast is correct, there is no significant rain event on the horizon.

Brunch yesterday was a variation on pigs in a blanket. Instead of animal-based hot dogs, Mary used vegan hot dogs and in lieu of biscuits, she used corn tortillas. Otherwise, they were just as you remember them. Dinner was pitas stuffed with a barbecue tofu filling that was very tasty. Also ala Mary.

We didn't get much accomplished yesterday. Mary finished her book in spite of my constant interruptions. We collectively finished the Friday crossword puzzle and also collectively installed the screen in the north-facing window of the foyer. It was a fight that required three hands, but we were successful. Good whole-house airflow is now part of our non-A/C household. I did get to some music yesterday along with my own reading along with some collective indoor chores. I guess we did more than I remembered.
 
Since I was outside every now and then, I just had to take some additional pix of our flora.

A bit out of focus, but this is one of the flowers on our Major Wheeler planted near the deck. A Major Wheeler is a honeysuckle that produces many blooms all spring and summer that are unique to this plant

One view of the only rose currently blooming in Mary's rose garden.

A totally different angle of the same bloom.

The focus on this flower turned out much better.

As did the focus on this one.

One of the begonias to be planted today.

Same begonia, different focal length.

 I feel like an optometrist. Is it clearer in # 1 or # 2?

At any rate, today should be a bit more laid back than yesterday. Yes, there will be more reading, more music, more coloring, etc. But no, there won't be any physical activity other than those aforementioned plantings. Ciao.
