Ten minute pause

26 September 2022: When I got home just after 6:00, Wesley greeted me with his insistent yells. I scooped him right up--and he is so slight these days, you barely feel him--and, on a whim, took him out on the back deck. We stood and then sat out there for a good ten minutes, listening to the birds and smelling the air. Kind of perfect after a busy day.
