Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:30 p.m. in The City." 

The NWS is reporting a current temperature of 60° that feels like 60° with a wind out of the west @ 4 mph. That would have  been under sunny skies if the sun hadn't already set. Our overnight low is forecast to drop to 51°. Our high today reached the upper 60s, and tomorrow's high will be a very comfortable 75° under mostly-cloudy skies before Wednesday's high temperature of 71°. That 71° comes with a good chance for rain. The sun will rise tomorrow @ 6:16 a.m. and set later tomorrow evening @ 9:04 p.m.

A bit of interesting news here in GH. The Grand Haven City Council voted to allow a limited Coast Guard Craft Fair, versus a complete cancellation. Instead of the usual 170 vendors, they will allow only 70 vendors. We think that might not be a bad thing, as the huge number of vendors in past craft fairs made it hard to navigate in Central Park. However, many of those extra vendors had spilled over into the parking lot at the nearby Ottawa, MI County Courthouse, so whether the crowds in Central Park will be lessened remains to be seen.

At any rate, Mary took STWD for a short walk and then she and Sugar returned so that we could take Ginger for a longer walk and a photo-op. We had a return to make to that internet based retailer of anything you can imagine, so we walked downtown and then over to the other side of Beacon Blvd. for some pix for our son. I'll open with some pix from our downtown leg and then move on to the others.

Oddly, the clock tower on the church near the downtown was displaying the correct time as we passed. 

St. John's Episcopal church.

Is the home of this "Peace Garden", a great place to meditate and read.

And also this Homeless Jesus statue. 

This fountain is located at the Ottawa County Courthouse. 

This house on Washington Ave. looks like the house that Norman Bates and his mother occupied in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Psycho.

One of the pix I took for our son's hobby.

We returned with Ginger and then set out to purchase more plants for our vast gardens. We ended up at that big-box home center and picked up some annual begonias and hanging baskets, along with some dianthus perennials. 

Here are two of the dianthus perennials in their new home by our deck.

Mary planted the begonias in the last empty planter out back.

While I was hanging the hanging baskets in the front.

Our fur-children observing our efforts.

I had to struggle to complete the weekend crossword puzzle this afternoon after Mary had made a nice lunch with baked potatoes as a side to my vegan bratwursts with sauerkraut topping. Later, she also made more of my vegan burgers, but this time with a salad that included mushrooms and her own recipe ranch dressing.

Tomorrow, I have my third of five knee injections and that's about enough for me. Otherwise, I want to stay home and do as little as possible. Ciao.
