what a delightful afternoon yesterday…

put out all the cushions and the umbrellas…

next I made coffee and had a few moments to read while I waited for my friends to arrive…

we decided not long ago to meet in the afternoon when it is warmer, as we continue to meet outdoors…

one had something else on, another connected by phone… the rest of us gathered in person…

it was a beautiful day and we sat close to the pond… both pumps were turned off to make it easier to hear one another, lol…

there were lots of visitors while we were meeting… a variety of sparrows, blue jays, squirrels, a cat and we even spotted a mouse racing through the grass… the fish swam around where we could see them as well…

strange to have such warm weather, but we certainly enjoyed it…
