Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 10:30 p.m. in "The City."

Yes I know, I am early by my usual standards, but I am ready for bed, as I often am on a Sunday night, and so I am going to wrap up this blog quickly, I hope.

We have a current temperature of 73° under mostly clear skies. Tomorrow after the sun rises @ 6:56 a.m., the NWS is forecasting a high of 85°. They are also forecasting a 40% chance for showers in the evening. That may or may not lead to T-storms on Tuesday morning. At this time, the NWS has given that an 80% probability. If all goes well, the watering I did this morning should be enough until Thursday. The sun will set tomorrow @ 8:39 p.m.'

We had a great day today. We individually walked the fur-children and then I settled in to do some reading on my latest novel. Eighteen Acres, by Nicolle Wallace. Ms. Wallace worked as the Communications Director in the George W. Bush administration, and she is currently an anchor for MSNBC news. She has written more novels since Eighteen Acres was first published in 2011. So far, I like it.

Mary continued her work on the index and then we broke for a quick trip to the Weaver House, a part of the Ottawa County, MI Park System. The Weaver House was open today from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. for tours. The house was built in 1901 and has two stories with four rooms on each floor. The house was given to the Ottawa County Park System as part of the Grand River Green Way, with the stipulation that the house not be sold. It was extensively upgraded following a period during which it was allowed to deteriorate. Ottawa County had a decision to make, either raze the house, or renovate. Thankfully, they chose to renovate and the Weaver House is now available for gatherings such as luncheons and weddings. The home and the site are a wonder to behold.

While we were there, we took many pictures of the exterior and interior spaces. I'll add some of those pictures here.

You can see why people choose to have their weddings at the Weaver House. The grounds are spectacular.

Included in the modest rental fee, is a fully functional kitchen.

Some of the fixtures are new, while some date to the early 20th centuryfor many years.

The upstairs is open, but is not part of the rental. However, this room on the second floor contains items that belonged to the Weaver family. Mrs. Waver lived in the house for many years and these are examples of her crafting abilities. These and the one in the following picture are excellent examples of Crewel Embroidery.

According to Mary, very nicely done.

The Weaver House is actually situated on a dead-end road, and along the way, lives an artist who created this unique sculpture.

Traffic is never heavy on this road,

I nearly forgot. One of Mary's many photographic pursuits is a series she calls Jack on Bench. In this case, she unintentionally photographed me in a silhouette-style with the light coming from the window behind me. I like it!

I'll keep the sports news brief. The Cubs fell to the Pirates, 1 - 3 and they are off until Tuesday when they play the Tigers, who won, in their game over the Twins, 7 - 5.

My beloved Red Sox lost one of the few they have lost this season to the Tampa Bay Rays, 0 - 2.

The Caps took 10 innings, but they lost to the Lake County Captains, 4 - 5.

Otherwise, I grilled out today, making corn, zucchini, portobello mushrooms, and one of my vegan sausages. A great dinner to be sure. I did some indoor chores and then I sat down to watch inane TV.

Mary is doing what I believe is needlepoint right now. Ciao.
