Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:30 p.m. in "The City", where the current temperature is 68° under partly cloudy skies, with a forecast overnight low temperature of 54° under dark skies. 

Today was terrific, with a high in the lower 70s, but tomorrow will be a bit cooler, with a high temperature of 69° under cloudy skies and an overnight low temperature of 56°, also under dark skies. The sunset today will occur @ 8:50 p.m. The sun will rise tomorrow @ 6:33 a.m. and set later @ 8:51 p.m.

Today in baseball, the 16 - 16 Chicago Cubs and LHP Justin Steele, 4 - 0, handed the 16 - 17 Florida Marlins their fourth straight loss, 4 - 1. Leftfielder Ian Happ provided the power with a two-run home run, as newly called up first baseman Matt Mervis, got his first MLB hit. 

The Cubs take the field again tomorrow afternoon @ 2:20 p.m. EDT, with 3 - 1 LHP Drew Smyly on the mound versus the Marlins RHP Bryan Hoeing, 0 - 1.

My beloved 19 - 14 Red Sox take the field tonight @ 7:05 p.m., with 2 - 2 LHP Chris Sale on the mound, trying to add to their surprising win total. But the beloved are still in third place in the AL East, 7 - 5 games behind the even more surprising 26 - 6 Tampa Bay Rays. 

The 13 - 17 tigers defeated the 16 - 16 Mets twice yesterday, 6 - 5 and 2 - 0. Tonight, the Tigers return to the field in Comerica Park for an 8:15 start versus the snakebit 10 - 22 Cardinals, with 1 - 2 LHP Matthew Boyd on the bump. 

We went on safari today to purchase some new plants for our vast gardens. But since we were out and since the weather was perfect, I took along my camera for some pix of things near the Weesies Bros. Garden Center in Nunica, MI. Here are those pix in chronological order.

I found this dead tree across from Weesies too good to pass up.

Also true of this tree shrouded house nearby.

Just west of Weesies is the Nunica Cemetery, established in 1883, and known for its paranormal activity.

Shadows and light combined to make this a nice shot. 

I like gnarly trees as subjects. 

I learned today that these are prickly pear cacti. 

These hanging boughs made a nice frame. 

Pinecones and more of those prickly pear cacti.

A rare pyramid shaped marker. 

Walter Quigley is a long-term resident of the Nunica Cemetery. Per Mary, Walter was "Down Under" long before Tom Selleck went to Australia in the movie Quigley Down Under. 

Tomorrow is a day for more outdoor planting activities, more reading of both varieties, crossword puzzles, and maybe, indoor chores. Otherwise, I have to continue to work on my leg strength for future outings. Ciao.
