As promised, Cassie got a long walk in the woods yesterday, then hundreds of pats from strangers when my friends met up with me at Sketchbook Brewing in Skokie. The weather cooperated magnificently, without getting either too hot or too cool, though my sunscreen appears to have lost some of its oompf later in the day. And I discovered that Sketchbook has two charge ports, so I was able to recharge my car for—not kidding—72c.
Cassie very much enjoyed the walk and consumed an extraordinary quantity of grass along the way. (I can't wait for our next walk...) She did not stop moving long enough for me to get a good photo, so this is it:

Today is the first day of summer, and so far it's pretty cool and cloudy. We're supposed to get hot, sticky weather by Thursday, so I'm just going to enjoy the next three days with my windows open and my dog getting lots more walks.
