The reward for some of this

is another
Vacaville Streets walk
(53rd of series),
southwest on White Sands from Zion to Bighorn,
on the
59th day of summer
(now topping the spring tally of 58 days by 1),

returning homeward
with beloved Harriet --

zwei Zooms (1st planning meeting for Opus 95 and
the bi-weekly
