I spread a blanket out on my front lawn this afternoon. Stretched out, with my jeans rolled up. Closed my eyes for just a minute while basking in the sunshine.
Next thing I know, my alarm clock is waking me.
Beep Beep Beep.... Beep Beep Beep
Realizing I don't have an alarm clock outside, in the afternoon, I sit up, shield my eyes from the sun, and look around. My neighbor Ken was out on his driveway enjoying the sunshine too. You see, Ken is a WWII vet, which means he is a little older than I am, and he is in a motorized wheelchair. As he backed down his driveway in to the sun, that is when I heard...
Beep Beep Beep. I like my mobility. It is quiet. But now I know my old neighbor likes sunshine too.

We had sun today, too! I didn't really bask in it, though. (I'm sure you're shocked considering the shade of my legs...)
We got a new Roomba (robot vacuum) recently and it makes the back-up beep noises when it backs up onto its docking station. :)
Common Ground is always good. Especially when it's sunny and warm :)
Beautiful insight. Hope you get a chance to talk and get to learn more about him.
Can't remember the last time I did that...probably last summer. Looks like I am overdue! Good idea!
Hmmmm sun. . .where did you go?? I still hoping for it to come . . .
