Summer Notes- Sunday July 28th. 79 degrees and 67% humidity.

A beginning for the hexagonal quilt design.  on paper...not cloth.  About 6 inches across.  Daughter found the image in a book I had actually looked at...duh....and not seen the hexagon.

Yesterday's book .. Cecelia Ahern's Thanks for the Memories.  I have a few more of hers in the stack. I enjoyed the first.  Now reading Meg Cabot's No Judgements.  I've read this one before and enjoyed it--  I have three more by Ahern to read.  One other book has gone into the bag unread......one week almost all of them went in the bag unread.   Win some and lose some.  Daughter brought me a Jude Devereaux hard cover copy of a paperback I have....small small print in those paperbacks.  Not Trade.  My Retirement Bookcase.   Books to read when I can't get out to the Library or out of the house...or out of bed. (eventually)

Formula One race- the part I got to see (end) was good.  

Birthday Lunch with a "former" Greenhouse Co-Worker on Monday.  We've been doing this for five years now. We both look forward to it.  Neither of our birthday's are this month.

So.....Pizza making later in the day.  I have had a shower, washed my hair- have a new clip in my hair- very comfortable and secure.  No slippage.  Daughter brought them over yesterday- one white and one red.  I have the white one in my hair today.  My hair is now actually longer than shoulder length but not by much...when I was expecting my son- I let my hair grow and it got very very long.  And here I am doing it again 50 plus years later.  And my hair is beginning to curl.  I had hoped it would curl more but.....I am happy with what I am getting.  

Clamshell clip?

Well, I have uncovered my ornamental containers and watered them- no hose-- and late yesterday i took the big lopers and removed branches from the underside of one rhododendron. So when the boys cut the grass they can get under.  I need to find a tarp and then pile the branches on it and drag it out into the woods.  Make a dumping spot.....that small mammals will use this Winter for protection.  FAR AWAY from the house...we don't want mice in the candle drawer ever again.

Oh, my, mice in the candle drawer. You could write a cute kids’ book using that concept.

I'd quite like to see your hair. You could take a new photo for your blog?

Well, I will ask my son to take my picture- with it down and with it in its new clam hair thingy.

thank you, I'd quite like to see a new photo of you.

I've let my hair grow too. Only thing about me and longer hair is that I get tired of only one hairstyle. If I wear it down, it gets in my face, something I don't like.
