Here’s the view out back.  Can you spot the neighborhood feral cat eyeing critters over the fence?  (That’s the stump the humongous groundhog usually sits on.)

Yes, this is what I do for entertainment.  The people who live there finally cleaned up their cesspool, but never use it, even in the hottest weather.  I guess it’s a lawn ornament.  Their “lawn” is a weedy jungle full of dog crap.  They glower at me when I mow ours.  Which I can only do when the hillbillies downstairs aren’t rampaging around.  So not today.

Oops, is this too negative?  OK, I made these strawberry-filled cookies yesterday, with my homemade preserves.  We ate most of them.  They were yummy.  How’s that?

We may go hiking later, so stay tuned.
