The weather report is: It has been a gorgeous day!

The household is normalizing a bit. Wonderful what fried chicken can do. Those two little chickens from the roadside farmer's market went down really well along with the potato salad, slaw, fresh squeezed limeade and brownies. There is nothing like a Sunday, sit-down, fried chicken dinner to nourish in a special way.

Early in the day I carved up the enormous Frankenfield cantaloupe for breakfast, made some biscuits to go with Wendy's blueberry honey find and added the leftover pineapple to the table, as well. 

You are wondering: Frankenfield? Yes that is the farm family's name--not what you were thinking.

Wendy's fears that Austen, the younger mare still with us, would have a panic attack without her old pal are now abated. Austen knows what is what and was happily running around with the goats this morning, delighting in a nice roll in the grass, too.

I tried out another UCC church this morning. Another small and very old church in the area. There are many small, old churches of various denominations. Many UCC, Lutheran and Methodist. I think there is one more I want to go to next Sunday. I still like the one two weeks ago--Trinity--in Telford. Funny, it is easier to remember its name since all the other ones have saints names.

Toby likes his cat harness well enough now and doesn't mind me putting it on him since he knows he gets to go down the stairs from the porch to the grass which he happily eats. I tightened up the screen door spring to make it harder to push open. He eats more than he ever did at the condo. I think it is because he is growing a dense coat; plus, the nights are chilly. At night he crawls into his cat tree hidey-hole up out of the reach of the three dogs sharing the porch with him. His food is up there on one of the trays, too.

Some grass got mowed, John worked on some of their old business, Aidan had a cello lesson, Keoni played violin off and on all day, Aidan found some great tricks online to try out.

Tomorrow is the boys' first day of school in Pennsylvania.

I am glad for the day.
