The header photo is from the aisles and of a twelve-year-old Golden–a sweet guy. His face has turned gray, but overall he’s in superb condition. And that expression! He’s irresistible.

I have this day off from my part-time job plus two more days. This weekend might end our local good weather, a pleasant type once known as an Indian Summer. A weather change might be dramatic in its suddenness, which is what we’ve learned to expect. Already, I’ve sheltered my small motorized vehicles and on-hand tools against possible rain.

This morning, my friend Rachelle and I plan to head toward the mountains and run our dogs. This afternoon, I’ll work on my horse fencing, doing some straightening and strengthening, to combat its chewed and battered appearance. Sometime this weekend I will ride horseback, maybe here in the neighborhood.

Here in what might be summer’s last gasp, I will take a walk and have Cockatoo Peaches on my shoulder. We need more to go out walking. He’s delighted when his cage door opens and he’s invited to step onto my arm. Peaches’ feathers are not trimmed, so he’s fully flight-capable, but he loves to be riding on my shoulder or forearm.

Dear Friends: Just some of my plans for these work-free days. Diana
