I let Shannon go outside, since she’s doing so much better, but she’s back already. It was the principle of the thing, not that she really had anything important to do outside.
Tom the Mocker is doing his “Jake! Jake!” call, so I expect Jake will come in shortly. He can open the screen himself.
The girls are planning a camping trip for tomorrow, but the current weather forecast isn’t very nice. This happened the last time, too, when Elen was going to go backpacking with Addie.
The only time I get mocking birds here is in the early spring, when they forage on my patio for nest-building materials. The birds can be nasty if they have a nest and you’re a new face here.
Maybe I’ll sweep my patio today, if the wind isn’t blowing. The leaves just keep coming in. But the trees are bare, so I have no idea where they’re coming from!
