rusticate, plan, squirrel

* Rusticated all day...on the porch, on the sofa, in the grass, in bed,  in my office. Rusticated all day.

* Getting out the winter scarves and hats (that is, after I found where I stashed them last spring). Washing them. Trying them on. Planning to knit more.

* A squirrel dopily leaps from one small backyard tree to another. The dogs go wild. To abate the clamor I turn on the sprinkler and whoop! the squirrel dashes within 2 feet of me to a much taller tree where it disappears and the dogs eventually give up.
