Dee Dee's first walk this morning was at the Dunedin Community Center where it's easy to find lots of shade and space.
She had a pretty good day. We managed to get her to eat a little bit more.
The archery club practices in the open field on Saturday mornings.
For our Saturday walk, we rode our bikes on the Pinellas Trail to Main Street and parked across from Al Fresco's. Then we walked north towards home, all the way to Curlew Road and back.
We had a good lunch. Our fruit bowl had blackberries, nectarines, black plums, red grapes, blueberries, and a dollop of peach yogurt. We split a turkey and Swiss sandwich on toast.
After our lunch digested we rode back downtown, but this time we kept going all the way to Alt 19 on this side of downtown Clearwater (bike route at the bottom of the page).
On the last leg of our ride (up Palm), we stopped to get pictures of the almost complete Pro Shop and Cart Barn for the Dunedin Golf Club. Originally, it was to be completed in March. Regardless, I know everyone involved will be glad when it's finally done. This week, they put down the watering system, beds, and turf, which made a huge difference.
This cart entrance is hidden from the street.

I did some more research on car title/registration/tags/licenses. I found a couple of forms to fill out and take with us to our September appointment (application for title and odometer disclosure statement).
John made a meatloaf, boiled some sweet potatoes, and I fixed a spring mix salad for dinner.
We were using Amazon's Alexa to play some K.D. Lang, and her song "Hallelujah" (written by the great Leonard Cohen) came on. That's the song she sang at the opening ceremony of the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, as a proud Canadian. Cohen is also Canadian. It's the most beautiful song ever recorded, in my opinion. It's about the pain of human love. She sang live with 1 billion people listening, and she nailed it. After her performance, Cohen said, "Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It's really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection." As we were listening to it, I repeated my long-held wish to be a singer, which is funny because I have zero talent for singing. I said, "If only I could sing, I would make the audience cry." John burst out laughing and then I did, too, because we both knew they would cry, just not for the reasons I meant.
Give it a listen. She will make you cry for the right reasons.
The blue line shows both our morning and afternoon ride. Some of it is the same route so it recorded over itself.
I love that song too and I have told my people that I want to come
