Volume 15 - Day 85/280, 2023 - Sunday

Okay, another great day in central Texas. As usual, we had a really nice walk this morning, although it was really more chilly (chillier) than I would like, and it is supposed to be less warm than I would like until Friday morning. I expect I will survive it all, and I will try to remember the crisp mornings later this year when it is 100 degrees at 6 o'clock in the morning. So, after the walk, I was not in any rush to do anything, since we did not do brunch today, for the first time in a long while. Candy was traveling, Alisha was working, Terry was waiting on a refrigerator delivery, and I was cleaning the front patio and the back deck. The oaks are shedding, so what I did this morning on the front patio is no longer apparent. I did go over to visit with Paulina, Val and Oliver late this morning, and that was really nice. Paulina made a cake that had no flour in it, I think almonds are substituted for flour, but, not being a cook, I have no idea how that kind of thing works. But, the cake was delicious, and that is what matters. When I left, I did go looking around at all the development going on around here; I went down 2243 to Parkside Parkway, which is supposed to extend into Water Oak. Once that does, there will be a couple more ways to get from the Curious House to here and there. I sat out on the front patio a bit this afternoon, and the girls enjoy it, even if they do feel obligated to bark at their own shadows. I really need to work on that with them. The orchid Pam gave me several months ago is blooming again, and there are several buds still to open. Very nice.
