The tent and tarps got folded and put away today. As I worked, the cranes flew overhead. The bees buzzed around the brilliant blossoms on the coneflowers. The hummingbird came to the feeder. The squirrel scampered across the top of the fence with a spruce cone that was almost as big as its body. There was a lot of action in the backyard.

The evening was calm and I really should have mowed the lawn or painted the front door. Instead, I loaded up the kayak in case it is calm in the morning. The mowing and painting can wait. I have my priorities.
