Sunset.
It is better, O Day, that you go to your rest,
For you go like a guest who was loth to remain!
Swing open, ye gates of the East and the West,
And let out the wild shadows – the night and the rain.
~~ Henry Kendall, 1862

Thank you Frank. 🙂 We had a very busy weekend. How about you? I suppose your weather is cooling down now as fast as ours is warming.

Not that busy (atypical for us) – but life with Covid has changed much of our typical routine. Plus, yesterday a dose of nasty weather fell upon us. Nonetheless, on to Monday!
