It is a humid (90%) Friday morning. The sky has clothed itself in every kind of cloud from thin wisps that show the blue sky through to thick clumps that are dark and sinister on the bottom. The world is very quiet. Birdsong is around but not near and comes in jingles and ditties rather than tunes and symphonies. The distant motor sounds are muffled or very distant. It is so quiet that I can hear the maple leaves giggling as the wind tickles them. Puck sits quietly too. He does not walk the perimeter; I think he has given this job to Cy with the longer stride and quicker gait. But he sits alone this morning enjoying the yard and the breeze. Pink and orange are the colors dotting the everywhere greens, tea roses and lilies mostly. A dot of purple down the block is too far away for me to tell the species, but the blooms are large and puffy. The rumpling recycle truck comes by and all the little sounds a eaten up. I return to our rooms which smell of freshly brewed coffee and toast. Puck stays out to wait for morning greetings with the dogs upstairs. Until he bustles his way through the upstairs and greets me at the landing. He tries to tell me that he felt abandoned and I should stop and pet him...endlessly. He settles for a short pet. So I doctor my decaf, find my file and sit down to write to you. What a gas! Hugs and kisses !!
Hope your weekend is a buss, ePistliers.
