Summer Notes- Saturday, August 3rd. 72 degrees at 10am and 94% humidity. It rained overnight.

 The view from inside the house, my containers, the sidewalk and my neighbor's driveway and house.  The van in the driveway collecting her furniture for the move.  Even a slim bit of the one rocker that my visitors and I sit in while chatting.

The Peach trees are behind that very tall lime colored bush that needs a Massive Haircut.  The hose is over to the far left....home sweet home.

I ate some very nice cold sweet cherries yesterday while reading my book. Julie Garwood's Slow Burn.  50% FBI murder mystery and 50% rom com.   I have read them all but years and years ago...I recall the plot but forget who the villain was....so that's great.  I emptied the Garwood shelf-- so one a day.  Like vitamins.

I also picked up two recent reads....I wanted to read them again...  I recall back in the day- reading a book and then turning back to the first page and reading it again... I do that with Hallmark movies as well.  

I selected some microwavable pita pocket sandwiches  a few weeks ago at the grocery but hadn't tried them until this week... One minute (in my super new microwave) and I have a nice protein packed meal.  Pita, scrambled egg, bacon and cheese. Not too much...just enough.  I also chose the cheeseburger one...I might add a few pickles to it.  I noticed this week that there are two or three more kinds of these pita things.  I may have to try all of them.  I can see this being an actual (small) meal with a salad on the side.

Next week....I plan on buying potatoes and having baked potatoes...loaded with stuff.  I have chives growing like weeds next to the back deck...my plan for a herb garden near the house didn't work out... but I can always try again next year.  Drag a Grow Box out of the shed and onto the deck.......I guess it might even work for August into September of THIS YEAR?????  We'll see.
