Thanks...so far, so good! I’m lovin’ me some high 60s instead
of upper 90s or 100s. :)

I keep looking for the first autumn leaf on the trees...and
not just a dead one from no water. LOL!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

We will still be in the 90s here. It was 82 when I finished my walk at 830.
