This week had its challenges, but much was experienced and learned!

And now, 6:30 on Friday evening, with the work week done and a low-key weekend unplanned, I am ending the day as I started – on the front porch.

Last night was another that stayed warm overnight, barely dipping below 70F before it started heating up.

But we all enjoyed a cool morning outside…

Bob, on a chair on the front porch in this photo, but he had been out and about earlier on his morning rounds.

Karl, behind the sunroom where I sat in my chair. We shared a morning biscotti and contemplated our respective days. And yes, Karl wins the prize for best attitude in front of the camera :)!

Friday: From the front porch.
