Dear President Biden, So, we topped out at 100 yesterday. The forecast for today is 99 but since yesterday was only supposed to get to 91, I’m thinking we’re likely to blow past 99. We’ll see. Before I got up this morning Laura did all sorts of things to mitigate the heat build up – …
Lizzie, Penny, and the Champ
Dear President Biden, Yesterday we had to put our dear old dog, Lizzie, down and in checking to see how your dogs are faring (given Major’s mishaps), I learned that you lost Champ on Saturday. I’m so sorry. It sounds like he and Lizzie would have enjoyed each other, though I’m afraid Lizzie’s exuberance might …
Transitions ~ small and big
Dear President Biden, Before I launch on the two topics of the day, I just want to circle back to let you know that the raspberries I picked this morning were quite tasty. Ok, next…. Hopefully this time the lesson will stick, but I’m not super confident that it will since it hasn’t the handful …
Summer solstice, raspberries, and eagle baths
Dear President Biden, Happy Father’s Day and Happy First Day of Summer! Quite a combo, isn’t it? I hope you had fun with at least some of your kids and grandkids and that you got to soak in many minutes of sunlight (after donning sunscreen, of course) today since we’ve now, officially, started losing minutes …

Crows, flickers, and White obliviousness
Dear President Biden, Since this is going to be a bit of a lurch-y letter, I’ll just let you know up front that I’ve got a couple of bird things to tell you about and then I’m going to switch over to swimming pools. First, remember how the mean crow swooped me on my morning …
Bunny leap frog
Dear President Biden, The other day Laura came home from her walk and asked me if I’d ever seen any of the kajillion wild bunnies in the neighborhood playing with each other. I had to tell her that aside from a little, short-lived chasing, I hadn’t. She then went on to describe the two she …
Karma bits
Dear President Biden, In honor of the beginning of Pride month, I thought I’d share a relevant, personal karma-tale and then highlight an additional relevant, out-in-the-wider-world karma-tale I read about in the WP this morning. So here goes…. I don’t know if you’ve been following the weather across the country, but if you have been …
May we accept our limitations and may we not let them hinder us
Dear President Biden, When I either wanted to stoke my righteous indignation or reassure myself that he probably wasn’t getting up to too much horribleness, I’d check DJT’s official daily schedule. The large chunks of time given over to golfing could be construed either way, or both ways, really, since they signaled that he wasn’t …

Remembering Darnella, Joe, and George’s moms
Dear President Biden, How are you this evening? By now you’re probably trying to wind down for the night since it’s almost 10pm Eastern. I’m guessing it’s going to be kind of hard for you to settle and maybe even harder for you to sleep tonight after meeting with George Floyd’s family this afternoon, especially …

A banner day
Dear President Biden, We had, what was for us, a banner day yesterday, starting with our dog walk in the morning. By now you know that weekend mornings are almost always given over to “the dog walk” so normally it wouldn’t be a big deal that our Sunday morning started out with one. However, what …
