Hot August Days

A walk on a beach would cool us down.....

A tall wine cooler would help.

but it is just a new day beginning and the coffee is hot and there is 'nothing good in this house';  well an English muffin with grape jelly will have to do.

Yesterday was a scorcher!!  Today is just beginning to show some light and I would say there is smoke in the air, a lithe spirit in the trees.   Going to be another hot one and my door is open, the trees are showing color....the shades of Fall.....all is quiet here at Ridgemont.  So a new day begins and will show me a few hidden scenarios before this day is over.    No plans for today, laundry day for me and a little bookkeeping to keep my budget in order.   

I was invited to daughter Pat's house for dinner last evening and my granddaughter Erin was the chief cook and bottle washer.   She cooked up some fresh fish that must have made the brain sing as it was delicious.     No crumbs, a sign of a hardy and delicious meal.   The produce from the garden is delicious, makes for a wonderful salad;  nothing like a fresh tomato off the vine.... a meal in itself.   How lucky to have such blessings to count.

I wish I could be enthused about being the char girl, the merry housekeeper, the dredge...smile....but Friday is the day and the work does not do itself....so off I go, griping and groaning wanting to be a lady of leisure and out the door.   Well, the work doesn't do itself so I had better quit grousing and get busy.....I can run away tomorrow...um, doesn't that have a nice ring to it?   I think so..smile.    So, go....have yourself a good day, all day.....do something that enlists pride in yourself and share time with those you love and like.    One good deed......make it a good one and be sure to count your blessings today.    Take pride i you and let it shine!!  Hugs to all.
