Boots

The Prairie Princess (Datter av Norge) left her boots here when she left for school. She doesn't need the steel toed version of work boots in her new enclave somewhere near Oslo, but they make a nice subject for photography. These are PP's boots nestled in front of her native grass garden here in St Paul. Waiting.

It was very close to one of the nicest days in the history of days today. It was a really nice day to play some tennis outside and enjoy the warm zephyrs as they wafted lightly past the eight guys who showed up to play some tennis today. Everybody played well and they were all winners - just like Little League. Prof Bill was back from his bout with rotator cuff problems and showing some of his usual grit. It's hard to believe that we're two and a half weeks from Labor Day weekend and that the Minnesota State Fair starts next Thursday. I can almost smell the deep fried butter sticks.

And political funny season is back in full swing. It's hard not to be excited.
