Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation, and across the world. It is just before 1:00 a.m. in "The City."

The sun will rise this morning @ 6:05 a.m. and set later @ 9:28 p.m. No change from yesterday.

According to the NWS, the current outdoor temperature is 63° with no rain falling. According to the NWS, winds of 4 mph make it feel like 63°.

My DTWS shows 66º on the deck, but 67º on the front porch.

The NWS is forecasting today's high to be 75º, that's 8º warmer than yesterday. This evening, starting @ about 5:00 p.m., the NWS is forecasting a 45% chance for showers that will morph into T-storms around 6:00 p.m.with a 70% chance. However, their forecast was wrong about the T-storms in the late morning yesterday, so. If all goes well, we'll get the fur-children out before the rain begins to fall. The overnight low tonight/this morning is forecast to be 61º. I believe that STWD does a better job of forecasting than the NWS.

The barometric pressure of 29.33" and 29.88" respectively is rising. Generally, that indicates that we'll have fair weather, but the forecast belies that. Go figure.

We had a good day yesterday. I didn't have to water and if the forecast is correct, I may be able to avoid that task today.

I made another of my famous stirfry brunches with more than a little assistance from my sous chef, Mary. In between, we collaborated on those indoor chores.

I was coughing when Adam and Steph called from their balcony in Chicago for Father's Day. So after our brunch, I called them back and we had a great Father's Day conversation. In addition, they had sent me a terrific Father's Day card, but with our abundance of caution, we didn't open it until last evening. It depicts two fur-children on leashes and one of the fur-children is asking, "Are they still following us?" I often feel as though that's what our own fur-children think when we are out walking.

While I was out in the vast gardens pulling some invasives yesterday afternoon, I spotted some bright red roses in Mary's rose garden. I knew that they needed to be cut and relocated to a vase in our living room. Mary scoped them out, selected the right size vase and voila, instant beauty.

Their aroma is wonderful. Is the book next to them a coincidence? Hmmm.

Today, we have nothing special in our plans. But, since it will once again be warming up, we'll have to decide whether to take the fur-children for a stroll @ the Lake Forest Cemetary. Plus, we want to fit in a stop at the grocery store to pick up our latest order from Fast Lane™.

I think we can read the weekend edition of the Grand Haven Tribune that arrived in the mailbox on Saturday.

One part of the conversation that we had with Adam and Steph yesterday, was in regard to the inability to make spur of the moment decisions regarding destinations. I guess that until a vaccine is developed and made available for the COVID-19 virus, that's how it will be.

But all in all, we decided after watching two more episodes of Poldark, that when you are retired with generally no place to go and all day to get there, that life is good. However, I still feel like my mother in law, Eleanore, that I am too busy. Why? Maybe because we don't often get up before noon. Time for an Awwww. Ciao.
