We both retired a few years ago, so Mr. Bayard is home all the time. Previously he'd be gone weeks, even a month at a time for work. It was nice and quiet. He has to have the TV on all the time, sometimes going in 2 different rooms, or when he's outside.

He's a lark, I'm an owl. The good thing is, he's up early to feed animals.

I can't wait for fall! We've been getting heat indexes here of 110.
