Yesterday

Today it has been raining all day but yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day.  In the morning, I was our on the deck on my porch swing looking up into the bluest sky.  You could see forever with not even a wisp of cloud.  The trees are becoming such a vivid green after the rain of a few days ago.  And overhead – a huge pelican high above – white wings with black tips moving freely across the sky. 

In the late afternoon we had our annual church slowpitch/barbecue.  I went to watch some of the game knowing that I couldn’t go to the barbecue.  Then since I was covering dental call for the city – I got the only call of the whole weekend just after I got there so didn’t even get to stay and cheer the old timers on to victory.  Not sure who won. 

In the evening we had a farewell barbecue for a staff member of mine.  She’s been my assistant for about 7 years and now they are moving out of the city.  This was the only weekend we could hold the farewell before I leave.  It turned out to be a beautiful evening.  And of course the TV was moved out to the deck so no one would miss the Calgary / Tampa Bay game.

I took along my new camera to the days events and am hoping to get some pictures posted here as soon as I am done my chauffeuring duties for the evening.

And the rain today will make a big difference to the land which was becoming too dry.  So it is very much appreciated if not actually “enjoyed”.
