Janis on a Sunny Afternoon

If you blog, do you ever go back and reread your blog?

Very rarely, I do. I mean, I think of this thing as a journal (what can I say, I am a journalist!), so it makes sense that occasionally, I might want to go back and remember something about a particular day.

This is one thing I want to remember about today:

I run over to check on Chico, and across the street I see John up on the ladder, working on his house. And it is a gorgeous day: sunny, temperature in the low 70s. Fall colors all around. And on the radio, Janis Joplin is singing “Me and Bobby McGee” for the whole neighborhood to hear.

Perfect, really.

The entire time, Chico scouts the perfect place for a hike.

And some flowers and insects cling to summer.

It is probably futile, though. (Dammit!)
