Summer Weather on it's Way

The weather today is absolutely gorgeous. It's warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. I opened both of the windows in my bedroom for the first time this year. And just about the time I was turning around to do something else, Max jumped in my window and dropped a small, dead mouse on my newly washed quilt. Really, it's the thought that counts...

I walked to the park and enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air. A lot of other people where there enjoying it too. It is good to see the children back. That is the "covid precaution" I really didn't understand. They closed all the parks and playgrounds. That never made sense to me. But I guess back then, we really didn't understand much about how it was spread. 

Something else I'm glad to see back is all the street markets and festivals. I do enjoy them and every town around here seems to have them every weekend in the summer and fall. Karen really doesn't like them, so I think that I will be out visiting them on my own this summer, just to really be able to enjoy a few of them fully. We will go to the Scottish Highland Festival together. But as always, we will most likely leave before doing anything more than walking through as fast as her legs can carry her and leaving without seeing much of anything. It's not a criticism, some people are just like that. It's the thought that counts.
