We are being rained in...it's almost like being snowed in without shoveling...we still can't sit on the deck...work on the flower beds...swing under the trees in the hammock...sigh!
I took a photo of my flowers from the dining room window...I miss them...
Today was such an amazing day! I did not read one word! I loved it! I was present in conversations...I actually listened when I was on the phone...and I didn't even look at a book! It was delightful...and now...at 7:52 I am going to read a year old book from the library on Overdrive! And...I am not going to review it! This one...and it's really good! Summery beachy fun and good!
Oh my...it's such an incredible feeling...it's the way I used to feel when all of my report cards were done...including comments for each of my students!
Now I am certain this won't last but...for now...it feels so freeing!
Off to read!
Happy Friday!
Today we had a mission...we needed to find a peely white dresser for a way down the hall bedroom...it's the way down the hall bedroom that all of my overflow clothes are in...and rather than baskets and bins I wanted an actual dresser...so we had to trek across hill and dale to the antique barn because I knew I would find one there. And I did...as soon as I walked in the door my dresser was there...with a big old "HOLD" sign on it...but they let me buy it anyway!
And here it is...perfectly peely!
We took a drive today for supplies and parts of our area are really a mess! The post office was closed...no power...tree branches were everywhere...most people around us are still out of power. Just now it took us an hour to get all the components of our TV turned on. Wind! All because of wind!
This is my last stack of Amazon Vine books...I have 28 days to finish them...which is not a problem...I am saving that big fat red one for last...it's 900 pages...I hope it's good? It better be good! Once these are done I am taking a break...seriously!
We actually lost power tonight but Den powered up our shiny new generator and we barely felt the loss! It was amazing! Of course it happened just as I was about to start dinner so dinner was not started...the power outages were from a lightening, thunder and wind storm and they were sporadically spread out all over town. Den raced to get gas for the generator and brought home tacos from our local taco restaurant...after dinner we just sort of read or played games and waited for the real power to come back on!
This was not going to be my blog today but...things happen!
Den is trying to explain to Roxie that play time is cancelled tonight because he is exhausted. It's not going over well...
