Monday morning. (I took these photos yesterday.) I’d love to say I’ve been sitting out on the porch but it’s been way too hot and humid. I run outside to take pictures, to water the plants, to refill the birdbath…and then I scurry back inside the house. This really has been a summer of mostly terrible weather, and I find myself looking forward to fall. Though the gardens are so beautiful right now, I’m determined to stay in the moment so I can really appreciate the beauty around me.
I mowed the entire front lawn on Saturday morning while Don was playing a gig. I had to take a half hour break in the middle of mowing. It was so hot and humid that it took me a day to recover. But rain was coming and the lawn was quite long, so it had to be done. Meanwhile, Don was playing outdoors in this awful humidity, so both of us could barely move by the afternoon.
And I finally started work on the deductions yesterday. I’m quite proud of myself. Don will do his usual thing which is to listen to me remind him about them every day this week until he does them at the last minute.
No work on the dollhouse so far – way too hot upstairs.
I think the weather will improve toward the end of this week.
And the giant (over 7 ft tall) thistle is blooming!
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
