We had a lovely day here yesterday.  We hit a new high temperature record for the date.  DH didn’t do so well by afternoon when it hit 87 degrees, but we expect it to be so, and make adjustments.  He dresses cooler, tries not to over do it, and stays inside where, with a brick home, it’s cooler until late at night.

     DH takes a daily afternoon nap.  It helps him function better.  This unfortunately is where he was when I was outside and almost fell off my chair with excitement.  I watched a great blue heron fly over, and although glad that he didn’t stop by for a snack of Koi, I was bursting at having no one around to share my exhilaration.  Even G was away and she would’ve been as thrilled as I was. 

     Around 7 p.m., it had cooled down to a nice 76 and DH came outside to sit by the pond for a little while.  We watched robins bathe in the waterfall, goldfinches serenaded us, and a gentle breeze kept us comfortable.

     However, the frogs let me down.  They made a liar out of me.  No one sang.
