And it's SUMMER!

Both literally and figuratively.

Today is not only the first day of summer, according to the calendar, but as of noon, the kids are all out of school for the summer, too. (This will confuse Piper, as she's grown used to barking her head off at all the kiddies walking to school at exactly 8:32 AM each day.)

It's beautiful and sunny, and it's not too hot. In other words, it's my favourite kind of summer day.

May there be many more between now and September.

"School's out for the summer ..."
