The Gardens

My kind of day.  Stayed around 70 with no humidity.

Little Wonder started his morning eating grass.  Fortunately he seemed ok and did not barf in the house.

The garden in the middle of the driveway is not looking so good as the bee balm is drying out.  We do have a lot of butterflies tho....and some gold finches.  This rest of the gardens are still in full bloom.

I absolutely love this weather.

After lunch I went for trike ride #32.  So much more energy when it's cool.

The home stretch....

Spent part of the afternoon reading the labels on all the food in our house as I attempt to get a grip on my sodium and potassium intake.  Now I have a list for the frig and will be more thoughtful about what I'm eating.  If I want to eat something bad, I'm going to have to really watch it the rest of the time.

Caught a little break and then we drove over to Scott's to see what's cooking.  LW joined us.

Now he is working on the back roof.  Progress.

Yep.  One more.

Dinner was a replay.

Night all.

 

Flying

A very beautiful day without humidity zapping us.

Such a dramatic sunrise.

After our morning groove, Little Wonder and I went out to the Studio for awhile.

I was working on an example for my next class.  They got their flower drawings completed and transferred to watercolor paper and will be ready to start painting.  

Layers...

and more layers....

Still not done.

After that, I went for a trike ride.  The cooler it is, the more energy I have.  So far I have not figured out how to put my FB videos (which are crisp and clear) on my Journal....so I take a video of my video and can't keep my camera still.  

That's why the margins look weird.

This is where I was flying....coming down the hill just letting the trike go with no breaking and taking a video at the same time.  Wonder how fast I was going!  This was my 31st ride and they are still getting viewed like crazy...posted it around noon and in 20 minutes it had 100 views....now, over 500.  I have no clue where these people are coming from but they must like the music!!!  And the videos are pretty strange to get so much attention.

Anyway, when I was almost home, there was Gary raking up some grass to put on his raised beds.

Jenny stopped up for a basket of cucumbers, potatoes and tomatoes.  She had just spent two hours putting shingles in a dumpster over at Scotts.  He was working on the back roof today and needs some time off.  So does she!

Here's the blossom that was waiting to open up last night.

Little Wonder kept Gary company out on the porch while he was grilling dinner

So good.  There's something about grilled fresh pineapples....

Night all.

 

Cruisin'

Not quite as muggy today.

I grabbed a few photos while I was mowing the lawn, but did not do too much after that.

Just some laundry.

At 1pm I arrived at Bobby's for an afternoon of bridge with her, Hanny and Linda.

So relaxing.

We had the usual healthy snacks followed by a peach crumble.

Bobby and I squeaked out a win.

While I was gone, Gary was presented with an estimate for our roof.  Another $$$$ surprise.

The hibiscus plants have gotten huge this summer.  One more blossom today and another on the way for tomorrow.

Little Wonder was happy to have me back home.

The kitchen garden is still hanging in there.

Got home close to 5 and made a simple dinner.  I'm attempting to pay more attention to what I am eating....especially in terms of potassium levels.

Night all.
