42d

Summer stands sentinel on the stairs. Her pal has gone up to take a nap. Anyone that would disturb him will have to go through her.
She is serious when it comes to taking care of her favorite human.
Pretty soon she will decide it's safe enough to go curl up next to him and nap facing the door.
Just in case.

A beautiful morning here on the north coast of California. A breeze with some clouds but the sun is shining.
We called my husband at the hospital. I put the call on speaker so Summer could hear his voice. She was fascinated and we were both happy to hear he is feeling better.
He got antibiotics and fluids all night and isn't in pain now. This is all great news.
Summer slept in her usual spot and I curled up next to her last night and we managed to get about six hours of sleep.
Now, we wait to see what the doctor says. Grandkids arrive soon and I will motor off to the hospital.
Summer says good morning, Mastodon.

Summer is so accustomed to being active that she is desperate enough to bring me the Frisbee so I can throw it from the chair.
The weather is amazingly beautiful today.
She gave me a funny look but we made it work.

Unless we adults make them so, children's lives are not complicated. They approach the world with eyes that see, hands that want to touch, hearts open to friends and friendship.

My husband is still pretty fragile but he wanted some fresh air. Summer and I decided to take him down the hill to the trail so he could sit at the picnic table while Summer got a swim. He didn't walk but could see us from a distance.
Summer didn't want to leave her pal behind but finally the lure of swimming got her down the trail.
It worked out for everyone.

I had to move my car before the Instacart driver got here.
Summer was not amused and watched me the whole time.
Next time, I will take her along for the, less than a minute, drive.
I tried to tell her that she really didn't want to get in the hot car, but I still got the look.
How lucky I am that she loves me so much.
I love her back.

Beach Summer is a landscape format watercolor painting by artist Karen Kaspar. In the foreground are sandy dunes overgrown with seagrass in various shades of green. In the background is the blue sea with white crests of waves. Above it stretches the blue summer sky with little white clouds. The watercolor painting is painted with loose, expressive brushstrokes and radiates summery freshness.

Summer is an enthusiastic Detroit Tigers fan. We are whiling away our afternoon watching a double header together.
My allergies are bad enough to keep me in the house where there are aircleaners to capture the pollen.
Any excuse will work.
Summer says she wants a hot dog at the ball park.
No such luck.

Even though it was overcast, cold, and drizzly we needed to get down the hill for a walk. It had been a couple of days of rain, and other distractions, so today was to be the day.
It being super early meant that we would have the trail to ourselves.
It was low tide so mud was everywhere.
Summer was excited so she could hardly contain herself. Even with that she stays close to me and makes sure that I don't fall behind.
Hopefully everyone is in the mood to see happy Summer pictures today.
Good morning, Mastodon.

I asked Summer if she would help me take the sheets off of a bed so we can air out the mattress for the day.
She ran right up the stairs and was on the job.
Her pal has a high fever today.
Fingers crossed that we can get things under control at home.
We are trying as hard as we can.
Thanks again for all the love.
We appreciate it more than you can imagine.

Summer is happiest when she is being helpful.
It is her job to bring the pillowcases to the laundry room when I change the linens.
She wonders why two humans need so many pillows...
Today, I can use all the help I can get. Summer says bring it on.
Our brand new pillows will be arriving with one of the grandkids later today along with a few groceries and our mail.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Summer knows I'm starting to feel better. She is bringing me the toys she likes to chase. She makes it pretty easy by dropping the ball in my hand. I don't even have to bend over.
I throw the ball up stairs where she can chase it down. She stays on the top step for a few minutes basking in her successful retrieval. Then she brings it back downstairs and hands it to me.
That's about the maximum I can handle right now.
She does all the work.

Summer is pretty happy that both of her humans are feeling more like humans this morning.
I might even bake some banana muffins today. I won't share any though because we won't be spreading our germs around for awhile.
I told my husband that I might toss our pillows and mattresses on a bonfire to kill off the germs, but he said I can't because bonfires are prohibited this time of year. I will have to depend on the fresh air and sunshine to help sanitize. Today we will let the sunshine and fresh air flood our living space.
Summer feels our relief and is a happy dog.
Good morning, Mastodon.

These two are feeling good.
My husband is finally, finally turned a corner.
He is down right perky.
I think Summer wants to make up for lost time and play all day. The orange ball is getting a workout, all ready.
I am still under the weather, but slightly better than yesterday.
Another day of rest for me.
Good morning, Mastodon.

In favoured summers
These islands have the sun all to themselves
And light a toy to play with, weeks on end…

—Edwin Muir, “The Northern Islands”
published in The Complete Poems of Edwin Muir, ed. Peter H. Butter (ASLS, 1999)

Edwin Muir
The Northern Islands

In favoured summers
These islands have the sun all to themselves
And light a toy to play with, weeks on end.
The empty sky and waters are a shell
Endlessly turning, turning the wheel of light,
While the tranced waves run wavering up the sand.
The beasts sleep when they can, midnight or midday,
Slumbering on into unending brightness.
The green, green fields give too much, are too rank,
With beautiful beasts for breeding or for slaughter.
The horses, glorious useless race, are leaving.
Have the old ways left with them, and the faith,
Lost in this dream too comfortable and goodly
To make room for a blessing? Where can it fall?
The old ways change in the turning, turning light,
Taking and giving life to life from life.

Summer kept the faith.
She knew that when the time was right we would get away from home for an adventure.
We all went down to the bay, but her pal didn't get out to walk.
I didn't walk very far.
Summer ran and ran and ran.
She got to frolic and explore for an hour.
No other people, no leash, just happiness all around.
Now we are worn out but we have all day to rest.
Good morning, Mastodon.
