And happy Summer Solstice! And, in spite of what you might read or hear, this is not the "longest day of the year." The days all have the same 24 hours. This is the day of the year with the most daylight; from today on (until the Winter Solstice) the daylight hours will get less each day.
And Father's Day? It doesn't get any less - it is still the best. I would say it is my "favorite job," but it isn't a job, it's an adventure... if you said, "That is the recruiting slogan from the US Navy from 1976 to 1986," you get 30 bonus points.
I'm having a good Father's Day. We were all up early for breakfast out at Black Bear Diner; yes, the second of my Father's Day meals, but this one actually on the day. We got to Black Bear a few minutes after 7:00 this morning - obviously not the only ones with that plan and timing. Within a few minutes of getting seated, the place was full.
Once back home, it was time to be adored. While I am always pretty adorable, this is also a day to get cards and gifts. Murphy and Stella got in on the action, with traced paw prints as the signature on the card from them. Yes, it was very cute.
But, the best part of Father's Day here in Arizona: I get to see our kid. And that is an almost every day occurrence. While I am not a fan of living in the desert, being next door to Steph and Dan (and the critters) makes it all good. It is a very nice Father's Day.

Happy Father's day! We had a jam followed by ice cream, but at 93° we are hunkered down indoors. It is expected to be 80° around sunset, so we might try for a late bike ride as twilight comes on this Solstice Day.
We plan to be in Weiser with friends all day Wednesday. Alice has even mentioned coming along too. The cats will suffer without staff continuously on call, but I might be able to convince the neighbors to come in and feed them mid-afternoon. Cannot have food insecurity. Neither cat is skinny, but we don't want to stress them.
93º sounds lovely! Perspective, huh? Even more lovely: ice cream!
On this recent trip, we had to alter the feeding schedule - neither of these kitties will eat when we stop for lunch for the humans. I don't think there was any food insecurity, more like: "Just stop already!" They got their normal amount of food, just not always evenly spaced.
