SUNDAY ALREADY

 

















I located my two youngest daughters at their pool  yesterday.  Swimming, lounging, talking, perhaps snoozing too.  What a life. Glad they live in same subdivision.  What are the odds for that?  Nice.

Cloudy and maybe a little shower or two today.  Keeps it a little cooler. After all it is still the middle pf Summer.  I am getting enough flowers to cut a vase of them.  Nothing else is doing much.  But I like to have some to look at inside.  

I had a sausage biscuit from the freezer this morning.  Did not feel like cooking a fine and lovely breakfast.  That is why I keep a back up.

Can't seem to get going this morning. Lots of mornings are that way.  Just be patient, I will come around {I hope.}

STRAWBERRIES

 Strawberries take a backseat when the peaches. watermelon. and other beauties take the stage, but we get them year around thanks to Florida and California and other places of the right temp. but they are welcome for sure.  Had some great ones this morning from J. , in my oatmeal.  So good.  Thank You # 2.  You are so thoughtful.  

The Balcony was O. K. for a while.  Little gentle breeze and watched as a man drove his golf cart and a passenger jumped out to check the Bluebird houses.  And one lone jogger went by.  Brave one she is.  Hope she has oatmeal waiting in her kitchen with some fruit on top.

SAT ON BALCONY

A bowl full of peaches, makes the oatmeal go down. and in a wonderful way.  You know I do like oatmeal, but you need to try one of the wonderful peaches of this season on anything or just by itself and  it is next to Heaven!!!!  I don't remember them tasting so good. This morning was still and quiet and nobody stirring at all.  Too much celebrating the 4th?  I doubt it out here in the sedate halls of SCV.  Someone should break through and cause a real celebration.  The Hot Dog was good yesterday, but that was about it.  Of course I should not complain, If something big would happen, I would run for Apt 2313 and hide.  I like the peace and silence now.  Of course I am kidding.  I have never been where so much happens.  Something for everyone.  Just take your pick.  My pick is usually is to sit back and watch.  Also fun to do.  That is since I have entered my "golden years) as they call them. UGG!!!

HOT ALREADY

Last night I was shook up when this big boom sounded.  Of course I had forgotten the Fireworks show in Liberty Park across the way from us. My it was loud coming off the Lake.  About 30 minutes I think of celebration. I   remember when I would go on Balcony and watch.  But not now.  It is as good as New York or some other big place, but I have seen it enough times that it does not move me any more. Sign of the times, I guess. 

What I am interested in is the Lunch today.  I get to have a Hot Dog.  Wheeee !!!!!

SILENT ON BALCONY




Red hot for today.  Poor little flowers.  They looked sad when I sat on Balcony.  Not the best year for them.  I am enjoying the Trash Zinnias. Tall an strong'  They struggled to get here. I guess people can be that way too.  Why do I always find a meaning in everything ?  I need help. So what else is new?  I get more "helpless" every day. Time takes it toll.

DUCKS IN A ROW

I saw that in action.  9 in a row. perfectly spaced just floated by.  One was way to the side ambled along.  Guess they did not have "Their Ducks In A Row" after all. I could make a blog of that and just why he was out of line.  Sometime when you are getting things to work, there is one thing that will not get in the row.  Right?  

I had a good old fashioned breakfast.  Egg over light, turkey bacon, wholewheat toast, prunes, orange juice coffee. Good and easy to fix.  On balcony for a short while.  Yesterday I saw a man with a high power hose washing outside windows. I guess we are on the list.  He needed a bathing suit I thought and that would have made his job nice. Should I bring that suggestion up next meeting?  Could open up all kind of issues, better leave it be.

SAT ON BALCONY IN MY NEW ROBE

 Blue is my favorite and my new robe is so pretty in a blue checked seersucker.  Short and cool,(just like me).  I could not help it, I cut the 5 blooming balcony flowers from the balcony pots.  Looks good inside. I do like flowers in the house.  HOUSE?  Well part of a BIG house. Filled with friends and much comfort.  

Sun is out, little chance of rain. So that is not much news.  I did think I herd a cicada.  Possible?  About that time.  Always liked to hear them.  School will be starting soon. Hey, I have grandchildren who are still in school.
