The Thing About Solitude

It's 10:30 Saturday and Jeff took the dogs, his son and two of his grandchildren to go flying in the plane. He needs to have three night take off and landings documented to remain current on his pilot license.

Jeff came over to pick me up for a drive to get my new screen door I ordered at Home Depot today. After installing the door (in between a trip home to get a drill bit extender and the dogs) the door is installed.
Jeff cooked some sausage and vegetables and fed me, too. I've battled a migraine all day and I am finally running out of fight.

We stopped for ice cream at a local place called Casey's earlier today (delicious). I thought my migraine had finally left, but everything I've tried to rid myself of it with today has failed to work.

I'm very happy with the new screen door. I'm happy, so happy, that I can open the screen door and let summer air in. Tonight I am enjoying sweet solitude, the sound of wood popping in a bonfire out back intermingled with the chorus of tree frogs and the neighbors next door laughing and enjoying life.

It's a beautiful night in Pennsylvania...I hope you have a good weekend.

photo is an aerial shot that I took tonight (Sunday). Last night peakd wouldn't let me post a photo and today was equally beautiful with no migraine. I was blessed.

I have a problem with heights but the interest of seeing the world from an aerial view has seen me overcome a bit of it... flying though is another whole experience. Not sure I'd be able to stay calm 🙊

Sorry about the migraine. Did it better? Jeff sounds like he has a hold of you... 🧡

The sites of the world above are very beautiful 😍. I was annoyed last night at the ice cream stand where they have plastic fencing and everyone was masked 6 feet apart in 80+ weather so instead of waiting we went flying and mood lifted.
