Some kind of virus made it’s way into our home, but today I’m much more coherent than I have been in previous days.
A spoonful of my homemade elderberry syrup in my tea (slippery elm) has been helping with my enthusiasm to stay awake. The sunshine and gorgeous weather, too. I’m always ready for a good storm, however.
The dogs have all been soaking up every ray of sunshine they can get. The younger dogs, Magnolia and Willie, have been frolicking all over the yard, thoroughly sniffing each new plant or interesting specimen they come upon.

The season is really in a sort of ‘transitioning to a transitional period’, and you can tell. Things are happening.
