I do love Sundays because I give myself permission to do what I need to do for me.  I did not cause any real harm when I fell yesterday.  It's pretty amazing, but true.  However, I'm sore and I needed to not move around a lot.

At the end of the afternoon Patrick came by and we went for a little ride.  I didn't try to get out of the car.  He did.  We hung out by the bridge for a bit and then we went up to the rookery.  Very pleasant and a deer said hello from a distance.

Summer is half over in many respects.  I'd love it if the weather continued like this for the next 6 weeks, but I think starting  tomorrow we have rain for several days.  It will rain throughout the full moon.  If I could have or do whatever I wanted I would get in the car and drive to Ptown and stay for a couple of days to photograph the sunsets and the moonrises.  Unfortunately, there is nothing doable about that little dream.   Even in terms of responsibilities; I have several doctor appointments and several have to's for Marlboro Remainders before Thursday.  I need to pull myself up and be responsible this week.  I am so glad there are no large bruises, no cuts, nor scrapes on my right side.  As I said, a little achy, but basically, no damage done.  

It was not a long bird list today.  Red winged black bird, grackles, swallows and a few others in the distance in small groups.
