Perfectly Nice Day

Three of my siblings came over for lunch and the afternoon: my sis from North Dakota, and a sis and brother from Portland. We ate ham sandwiches and potato salad in the backyard shade, then walked to see the Belmont Goats and later, to the Dollar Tree. It was pleasant and sweet and we successfullt skirted the usual awkward issues of politics, religion, and conspiracy theories.
In the evening, I sat in a lawn chair, in what remained of the warm sun, and fell asleep.
