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.

 

An Important Appointment

I got up extra early this morning as I had to leave the house by 8am for an appointment with a nephrologist.  Even tho I was born with one kidney (and found that out in my 50s) I had never been referred to one by any of my doctors.  Early in August when I had a visit with my PA it was suggested, just so I can have a base line for where I am at this time. 

Before leaving, Little Wonder and I went out for awhile and he was slammed with the sunshine.

I headed in to the Professional building at Unity and had one of the best conversations ever....with the Doctor.

 She spent an hour with me and I learned a lot as she clearly explained so much about all the things in my file from other Doctors.  I left with a very different state of mind.  And that's a positive.

Home for a couple of hours and then headed down to the library for bridge.  My partner and I tied for first place.  You just never know with duplicate.

On the way back to the farm I dropped off a print at one of the stores in Brockport called Bittersweet. One of my past students, who is currently in my class again....did this drawing several years ago and I wanted to give a print to the owner of this store.  The  person working there will give it to her in the morning.

It is a very unique place full of very different clothing.  I checked on several items but went home empty handed.  Ironically, the dressing room was full of paintings and drawings of the building.

Such a cool piece of architecture.

While I was gone, Gary was visited by a roofer who is going to give us an estimate tomorrow. He also had a long conversation with our granddaughter, which made him very happy.

Dinner was a sandwich and chips. I managed to make a delicious batch of chicken salad.

The humidity was terrible today.

Night all.
