Would it were endless

Sweetly sunny early day, good for airing nonegenarians; we were almost too warm in our winter coats. Much walking about for supplies, including elusive furnace filters that can't be bought at the local hardware store, as we've done for years with our own heating source. The ball now rests in the purportedly capable hands of a fellow who procures heating supplies for all kinds of operations. He quoted me the price of the current filter, which was enough for a moderately-priced dinner out; efficent thing, but ridiculously costly.
But the sunshine wasn't endless, and palled down before sunset. Sweet repast with beloved spouse later.
