#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Another stunning summer day on the river. This, the weather we wait for all winter. I woke and gave myself permission to rest today as much as I wanted. Got things done, yes, but at a slow pace. House quiet. Wave gone, just me and Frank all day. Him in his second home, his tennis court. Me in the garden with Chippie, and to the river to cool him off. Two naps. A lovely swim at Farm Pond in the open water. Today was all warm, none of the cool shocks that were there yesterday. Hot sun on my back. Tonight Franci and Will came back to try and beat us at pickle. I had other plans but let them go. It’s too nice to be here in summer, especially when the kids want to be here. Frank and I played well, started strong, beat them the first two games, but in three out of five they won, even though all games were close. Frank and I were tired. A nice dinner whipped up after. A lovely day.
