Today was one of the best  -- temps in the low 70's with soft winds here and there, a good day for mowing the lawn and sitting in the sunshine or shade. Cia worked here and there among her flowers, and later, I saw her stretched out in the hammock, just looking out at things in a lazy, relaxed way. I also enjoyed the hammock just before supper, swaying a little and looking at the slowly drifting white clouds above the trees. Now, at 8:19 pm, I'm watching the Red Sox game and waiting for Cia to return from a meeting. 

. . . beautiful peonies

. . . . and a lazy old man .
