Sunday morning reflections

Thanks to all you who stopped by for the birthday party for Kevin and Diane. One of the good things about hosting a virtual birthday party is that I didn’t have to worry about cleaning anything up. There were no dirty dishes to wash, no spilled punch to clean up, no left-over’s to be stored away. Therefore, I was able to spend some time outside enjoying a glorious day. The photographs were taken late yesterday afternoon in the pasture behind my house.



On a sour note, I have to report to jury duty this Monday morning. As I'm to be in the downtown area of a city 30 miles away, and must park several blocks away and take a shuttle, and after all this be inside the Federal Courthouse by 8 AM, I’m going to have to get on the road early. This also means that I’m going to have a lot of work to do today, as I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to be in the office this week. The good side of this, maybe a story will come out of it all.

  1. yuck jury duty..thankfully if I ever get the call...my county courthouse is in a smallish city with a parking garage that's right next door to the courthouse and another about a block and a half away.

  2. Mistress, if it was the County Courthouse, I'd only be a mile from where I live and around the block from my office--I'm playing in the big leagues--this is Federal Court.

  4. Wow..I really feel sheltered now. I have yet to ever fly a kite. Big A was recently aghast to learn that fact so he went out and bought one. It's still waiting to be flown.

  5. Great photos! What a beautiful day. Love the pooch photo, of course. I'll be interested to hear your stories, and how you find the experience

  6. A gorgeous day and a beautiful doggie! Good luck with jury duty. They called me earlier, but I got out of it because of teaching. I think they may recall me in May, sadly. I am hoping they forget, lol. =o)

  7. I have always wanted to have jury duty, but most of the few times I have been called, I had to decline due to weddings that were coming up. I couldn't take the chance of being on a jury and not being able to do the work I needed to for wedding flowers. The one time I did report for duty, I was speedily dismissed. Bah!

  9. Gautami--I don't what cases are coming up, hopefully there's a real juicy one and I can write a best seller and retire to some trout stream in Montana

    Murf, GO FLY A KITE (I've always wanted to tell you that!)

    Diane, Trisket started shaking when he saw the camera pointed at him, but at least I got a good shot

    Jaded, on behalf of the doggie, thanks! We'll have to compare expereinces if you get called

    Kenju, do you think I could get off if I said I had to do flowers for a wedding? Nah, it'd never fly.

    Pat, as this is my 8th time being called, I've been released all but once--one time I sat on a jury

  10. Sage, I commiserate with your journey tomorrow. I live in the northern-most part of Orange County, CA, and need to be deep in San Diego county tomorrow by 8:00 a.m.

    Thanks again for hosting yesterday's party, and if I may suggest another benefit to a virtual party - no hangover!
