Summer Notes- Monday, August 5th...Sunshine 77 degrees..low humidity.




I happened to have this dish and the clothespins on the counter while I was waiting for the Hot Water Pot to boil for my morning cup of tea.  I use the clothespins to clip the cereal box liner (and the graham cracker bags, and the chip bag when I am lucky enough to have chips) closed. I use older, less clean ones to clip the netting over the containers each evening.  I have clothespins all over the house... 

My neighbor across the street sent me home with garbage bags- (the Town bags we have to buy), a tub of yogurt and two framed pieces of art.  One I will be showing to you..a line drawing made by a friend of my neighbor's who died of breast cancer....her work will live on here in my house. And here on a post.

Yesterday was her last day in the house- the new neighbors show up today.  She was getting ready to cry when I left.  It is a great street to live on...dead end.  No thru traffic. Hardly anyone knows it even exists. We move here and try not to ever leave.  It will be really difficult for me to leave......if ever.

Son just gave me the "Weather Report" for the day- STINKING HOT.  I turned on the ceiling fan over my couch position.  I have worked my self thru all the Julie Garwood FBI books that I checked out on Friday.  Three- and I ordered three more for pickup on Friday.  I have other "good stuff" from my Barnes and Noble book buying spree to read.  An FBI Rom Com with guns, close fitting suits, private planes, hotels etc--very satisfying.... I was trying to date them...they have cell phones. And Computers.

Well, I mixed up some Splenda Pink Lemonade and it needs diluting....way too sweet.  But I need liquids if it's getting as hot as Son says it is.   I brought in one whole unbitten Peach that I found on the grass. Not ripe but has a bit of a pink blush on one side.  I have put off baking a cobbler with my frozen peaches......I am getting used to my VERY loose clothing and want to keep it that way.  Son still has Birthday Cake for snack.  Sigh.   Life Goes On.
