#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Paddler on the Charles

Up early with Frank and Chippie. I walk Chippie to the river and then after he’s had a good lot of exercise, he goes indoors so I can weed, rake, plant the pots. It’s hot and I spend about three hours outdoors, have a swim and then go to my desk. I do some minor revisions on a poem and meet with a poetry friend to discuss our poems in the late afternoon. Special time. Evening pickle with my nephew and his fiance and another couple who join along. I don’t play particularly well. It’s still quite hot and I’m tired from all my yard work. But it’s fun and Frank makes a quick and nice dinner for all of us. After dinner they all return to the courts! Wave is home, but I’ve only seen him briefly. He and his mother have been happily busy with friends. A lovely summery day.
