Some Things

One nap a day is permissible.  I said so.  So I took one.  The rest of the day I actually got some things done...not everything, but some things.  Certainly got a better score than the day before.  Michael got to go to Mt. Aukum, but (gasp!) Nice Lady was not there.  Chris, who has worked there forever, was and he had not yet met Michael.  During the introduction I mentioned that Nice Lady always gave Michael a tiny milk bone.  "You mean one of these?" and quickly produced a couple.  Ahh, life was good again and Chris made Michael's day.  I bought a pound of the little treats and plan to distribute some to the shops we frequent in town.  The things we do for our furry friends.

Going for the last walk of the day takes some timing.  Too early and the sun blinds us on the way up the hill.  Too late and we can't see anything in the dark.  This was the view as we stepped out on the porch yesterday, and our timing was good.

It never ceases to amaze me how fast the sky changes at daybreak and nightfall.  This shot was taken after we had made the circuit and were on the home stretch.  The colors had intensified as the sun was giving its last hurrah.

Back on the porch again, just before going in for the night.  The glow was there, but those glorious colors had faded.

Good night.
