The Sun is shining

June 24, 2025 11:36am CST
The Sun is shining The Sky is Blue It's a little cloudy too Birds are singing joyful song Their babies won't be babies long Finch, Sparrow, Blackbird, Wren When will the Robin return again Jackdaw, Crow, Rook and Raven Our garden for them is a safe haven So as I sit outside and post I think the thing that I like most Is Steak Pie and Chips

That's beautiful sort of lyrics have you made it just by sitting outside or you already planned for it.

No That was the final line intentionally As it was so out of context with the poem I thought it was really clever just to leave it there with the reader wanting Steak Pie and Chips

Well Yvonne has hit a bump in the road Over the last 72 hours her condition has worsened a bit So I started her on her emergency pack of steroids and antibiotics She has improved slightly But not enough for me to be able to be able to predict when the next frio will be She hadn't had a flare up since Feb 2023 so it was sort of overdue. She did come out to the garden today with me and I did some light activities with her. Her new portable nebuliser arrived today, and after themfirst time she used it it was noticeable that her posture was a lot better. It's her birthday next Tuesday so it's my plan to have her fully recovered by then so we can maybe get away later that week

It looks and sounds like a nicer day then we had here. It was very hot and humid until around 4:30 when terrible thunderstorms roared through with torrential rains and winds.

@Ineeddentures I love the temperature in the low to mid 20's best of all. But those days are rare.

As I do not really embrace the heat I think our 18C and sun would be nicer than the day you have had

Is that your place Jim? Looks lovely. And moreover, the shining sun adds to the beauty. By the way, who has written those lines. They are catchy with good rhyme scheme.

Very glad to hear that you are happy today as well Marga. And also that the sun is shining for you. Do you miss the cane when you do not have it with you?
