The cable man was scheduled to visit to see what was wrong with our internet service. Mulder can get a bit excited when we have such visitors, so I tethered him to keep him contained.
When he finally calmed down, I loosened the leash a bit more…this is how he ended up lying down while taking a nap.
Do you see the drops of drool as well?

When you are 12 years old – for her size, tthe equivalent of 77 human years – your Friday nights include a lot of napping in your bed.

He looks so warm and comfy laying there on the Sunday paper.
He’s got nothing else to do today.
I wish I were a cat.
Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.

I convinced the husband to wake at an ungodly hour to be at Cahokia Mounds at 5:20am to observe the Summer Solstice Sunrise.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate.
The rainy weather refused to leave and the sun was not visible.
Still, we heard an excellent explanation of the post circles and we hiked up to the top of Monks Mound for some spectacular views.
(The mound bisected by the back middle post is Monks Mound.)

There were many deer on the site.
These guys were hiding out in the tall grass.

In the afternoon, we had a graduation party to attend.
They all complained about how the back seat was too crowded now that they are older.
It didn’t stop them from all falling asleep on the hour-long ride there.

It is always amazing to me how the whole feeling of the living room changes after I take down the Christmas tree..
Calmer.
Cleaner.
For a little while at least.
