Memorial Day

I spent mine mostly sitting in the backyard, reading stories for Kaleidotrope and enjoying what could be the last of the nice weather for a little while. It started to rain earlier this evening, and there are thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow. All weekend long, though, the weather was really beautiful, if a little hot, and I set up the umbrella and took my lunch out to the back deck. I didn’t finish doing the reading I wanted to do in the three or four hours I was out there — I took breaks, to play with the dog, help my mother with her recent iTunes purchases — but I’ve made some kind of dent in the slush pile, which is always good.
