Loving our beautiful Oklahoma summers. Lots of sunshine and light breezes. I go out in the mornings and evenings. The days are far too hot. It's 99 degrees as I'm writing this.
Today, I'm pampering myself. A long soak in the tub, a mani-pedi, chocolate, a bbc marathon, homemade (by me, long ago) cranberry cordial in a crystal goblet. Pure heaven, I'm loving every moment.
Tonight, I'm having strawberries from a friend's garden. Tiny, ruby red, and extremely sweet. It's so nice that she thought of me, and I'm savoring every bite.
No weekend plans. I kind of like that. Years ago it would have bothered me a lot to not have the weekend booked solid. Now, I just have peace and quiet. I only go out when I'm in the mood.
I was invited to a weekend PowWow by friends and family. I'm not Native American, but I really enjoy the culture. There's a lot of honor and respect shown that is rarely seen anymore.
My nephew was delighted by the telescope. I'm delighted with the newly freed up closet space. He'll take it home to Fort Worth next month when school starts. Wonderful to be able to pass things on to the younger generation.
Thinking of doing a bit of rearranging around the house. I'd like to have the treadmill near a window which opens, and which has a view. It's currently in a place which receives full morning sun.
That's where I'd like to put the Cinnamon and Key Lime Trees this winter, along with the Persian Shields. The other plants are heartier and will thrive in the unheated mudroom. Some plants need pampering, and I still recall my daughter referring to my houseplants as "death row inmates" when she was alive. I've improved my horticultural skills over the years.
Enough for now....
