Fresh Figs with Balsamic Reduction and Gorgonzola

I made real progress on a major project today and did an emergency vet run (again!) because sweet, dumbo ole Boo ate a corn cob; last time she did that, she got an intestinal occlusion that nearly killed her and did empty our bank account.  Not much to do but wait, said the vet, and laughed.  His dogs just ate a whole bunch of his cucumbers–tummies not happy, vet not happy, nobody happy.

I am getting ready to go out and mow some grass.  But I have some fresh figs and splurged on a piece of good gorgonzola cheese when I went into Montgomery earlier this week.  So made myself a little snack to have with my water before I get going on the lawn. I will stay out till the sun sets.  It looks like this in the evening around here, until is is slightly darker than this, and then the lightning bugs come out.  Magical.
