WARM ALREADY

Well, we asked for it. Be careful what you asked for. Heat is on its way. So out come the new CLAM-DIGGERS, I think that is funny what they are called now. Anyway, I am ready with white, kaki, black. light blue and denim. So I will break out one pair and go with it. I have seen men and ladies already in shorts. Now that is, in some cases, a sight to see. Can't do that anymore. Why am I so worried about how I look? I may bend a little as it gets warmer. Yesterday we had a Birthday party for SCV. Don't know how old we are exactly. A line formed at the front door and into the Lobby. All blowing horns, ringing bells, and wearing hats.  Pushing a large cart with a huge Birthday cake and a big  container of punch. Out into the Rose Garden they went and set up a party. If I thought I could have navigated the rough stones of the path, I would have gone to it. I just gazed from the window and was glad some could do it. It looked like fun, all decorated with balloons and banners. Everyone seems to be ready to go back to normal. Hope not too soon. We are ready to celebrate anything.

GOOD MORNING

And what a beauty again. My Balcony Garden is doing good. Such a delight to look out and enjoy the view even more. I would argue with anyone here that I have the best view and best place to see it all. No walkers yet this morning. Thankfully the Mockingbird has caught up with his songfest. I bet he has a sore throat from all that mocking he did yesterday. He sure had plenty to say. In the background I hear his voice--SENIOR, SENIOR,SENIOR. What was he talking about? Oh, well, he was far away from me. I had a lumberjack of a  breakfast this morning. Juice, fresh orange, scrambled egg with cheese, turkey bacon, toasted SCV dinning room biscuit. coffee of course. That should do me for a while. My closets are full of Winter, Spring, and yes Summer too. Must cull and pack up what I do not need now. Big job. Seems like the week went by fast, here it is Friday. Time does march on.

p. s. I hear the sitcom KATS will be dropped. I kind of liked the silliness' of it. 

TOO MUCH FUN

There is such a thing as just too much.  I have been at it for a few days. Need to slow up. Although, I enjoy new and fun things, I get tired too quick. Dr. Sotolongo trip went fast and well. Good to go for another 3 months. I am really HIGHA MAINTENANCE. Always something to take care of. Went to see Mt. T's new office after appointment. It is so very nice and convenient. for him. I am glad he moved. Came home to flop on bed even though it was late. Just relaxed-did not sleep. Jan appeared with new cushions for my balcony chairs. Very pretty, she texted Amy pictures and Amy chose for her. Now I have something of Martha Stewart. Up town for sure.

Went to Cyber for breakfast. Blueberry pancake. Needed it. Was good. Don't know why   my computer switched on me. Oh, well, all else is right this morning.

FEELING GOOD

Appointments went well. Up graded my hearing aid and can hear again. wow!!  Wonderful lunch at SAL AND PHIL'S. Have not been there in I can't remember when. Best fish I ever had. Then on to top the day off --Freshway Flower   market to buy some happiness. I cleaned them out, almost. I think the pink Geranium is my favorite. I got Petunias, purple, Verbena, Hibiscus, yellow Begonias, even a potato vine, and much more. Broke the Bank, but I do not care, the pleasure and work, is what I need. And to top it off, this morning I saw MR. BIG HAT. All is well now. But the pessimist in me, says --just for today.

P. S. Just one day at a time.

APPOINTMENT DAY

Regular appointment with ENT Dr. and also  I wanted to see  my Audiologist to check my hearing aids. Seems I am not catching every word anymore. Hope I just need an adjustment to my Aids.  My ENT Dr. is just for a cleaning, which I have to do regularly. My I do require a lot of maintenance. Just like your car, must keep it running . Sometime smooth and sometime rough!  Oh, well, what else is new? The rain has moved on out and we will have smooth traveling for today.

Yesterday I cooked fresh yellow squash, okra, and an "almost there" tomato. So good. And easy to do. Today, I guess A. and I will eat out after my appointments. Wonder where? The choices are fun. We will see.

p. s. how pathetic!!

 

 

MONDAY MONDAY

Some do not like Monday's. Back to school or work-related duties. But others welcome it. Mothers of course are glad to get the kids back to school and indeed husbands back to work. But then they have to go back to their duties also. But a change of pace and something different, does make the world go round. I decided on a change for the Buble' family of birds and gave them graham crackers this morning. Mmmmm? What is this they seem to say. BIG MOUTH announced it from the edge of the Balcony. His mate came and tasted and chirped loudly too. I hope the whole neighborhood enjoy the Monday Treat.  My table in the hall got a change. My beautiful lavender roses were thoroughly enjoyed by many. Thanks again to Granddaughter MG. Never had such beauties. But they are just a sweet memory now. I hope I will not be called out for "nudity." I put my little ceramic nude oriental babies out there, pink artificial flowers in a yellow vase. All my neighbors (ladies) were giggling at them with delight. One said, "I'll go get a diaper for them." Just a little fun for us.

SUNDAY, SUNDAY

 Guess who I got to see from the Balcony? Now I know why the pair of Canada Geese have been hanging around. I saw Mama Goose, 4 goslings, and a very proud Papa Goose strolling down the sidewalk by the Lake. Murmuring instructions to the little lively ones. My they were big for babies. They kept going into the grass looking for breakfast. Papa   urged them on. I guess he was nervous or else just showing his authority as a parent. I wondered how many eggs she hatched to just have 4 left. It is a jungle out there and they don't all survive. It made a happy start to the day. And it is a beauty of a day. 

"This is the day, the Lord hath made, let us rejoice! and be glad in it.
