This afternoon's wind blew quite a few of the blossoms off of our ornamental cherry trees. In a strange way it felt like Fall had come around again. On a couple of occasions I found myself wanting to find a football game on the radio.

The neighbor's backyard pond is once again host to a zillion frogs...zillions of frogs that drown out the crickets, sirens, thoughts and heartburn the night is known to be synonymous with...that is not the case here. Nope, not the case at all.

Our boy has experienced yet another spike in his cold. Hopefully he'll get over this one soon.
