The joys of sunny days

I biked down to have lunch with Jay Lake today. When I left the house, it was on the cool side, so I had on a fleece and a windbreaker. The sun came out as I was traveling and by the time I hit the first traffic light, I needed to take off the fleece. By the time I got to the second traffic light, the windbreaker went away.

After lunch I headed down to the Portland Spirit to do a little web stuff, which fortunately did not take long. It was so lovely that I biked around on the waterfront when I got out of there. I also stopped at a gelato place on the way home. Mmm… sweet cream gelato.

And then the best thing of all. Rob grabbed a mirror and reflected a sunbeam on the floor for our cats. Witness the hilarity.

To celebrate the good weather, we had dinner on the front porch. Not surprisingly, I am sunburned. This is makes me strangely happy.

  1. Love Marlowe! Maggie too, even though she tried to smother me. Miss cat …

  2. Nicely put togather. It sounds like it might be hard on the floor. It wouldn’t be as much fun if they could stop quickly though.

  3. I tried something similar using a laser pointer with my dogs. My german shepherd chased it for about 15 seconds then figured it out when the spot landed on his paw. My labrador retriever just followed it with his eyes for the first five seconds, then yawned and ignored the spot completely.
