Friday

Girls' parents came over, then we enjoyed a picnic and walk in the woods. We saw a huge elk placidly resting on a lawn nearby. Girls and parents left for Florida from there. We then explored antique/thrift/curio shops here and there on a warm and beautiful day. Wound down later on the deck--it's wonderful to be able to spend so much time outdoors, with few insects--chatting and watching the gorgeous hummingbirds invited here by three feeders. Went to bed early slept like a log.
