 Two cool weather fronts came through since the weekend bringing drier air and relief from the heat.  This morning's temperature was 53 when I got up at 6. I got to walk Konehete Park before going to yoga at the gym.  Gardens are winding down.  Always a welcomed sight as I get tired of fussing and watering by this point.  I've pulled up tomato plants and whatever else looked like it was suffering. Most areas need weed whacking again.  Monday I tackled the back tall weeds near the garden.  Most mornings forest leaves are dripping from the early mountain fog.   Grass and weeds don't dry well until afternoon.  I went through both batteries before quitting late morning so my arms and clothes were covered with wet grass shards but it felt good to get that under control.  And............   I got to use my new outside shower for the first time.  There is still work to be done.  Ricky will pressure clean the platform for me t...

   Happy Summer Solstice!  It was a beautiful start to this day.  The typical mountain fog had settled in when I got up at 6:30 but burned off shortly after.  I always go outside when I first get up, scan for wildlife, and walk around soaking in the morning peace and calm.  Did about 20 minutes of stretchy yoga, showered and had a light breakfast of cream of buckwheat with ghee-fried peaches.  I still felt  a little full from eating Italian food with Janice last night.  We go out at 4:30 and take our time eating and talking, have a glass of wine and Friday night is dessert night.  Janice is doing better.  It'll be a year in August since she lost Ernie.   I left the breakfast dishes in the sink and headed to our Murphy Farmers Market.  First stop was "Healing Ways" produce farmers for fresh Swiss chard, butter crunch lettuce, and a bunch of young summer squash and zucchini since all of mine are falling off the plants....

 It's a dark dreary overcast day with only a 16% chance of rain predicted.  The weather station says it's raining cats and dogs.  And it's correct! Back in my classroom days in Florida, when it felt like this with dark clouds and the sound of rain on the roof, I used to think how I would love to be sitting with a warm cup of tea and a good book instead of managing a classroom full of energetic students.  I had been out on the porch when the this 16% chance of rain opened up and it brought the classroom image back to my memory. So I'm making my cup of tea to return to the porch and enjoy the peaceful rain.  In the last twenty minutes the weather station registered 0.54 inches and still raining and the wind has picked up. The temperature dropped from 79 to 70 degrees. My choice of teas for this dark feeling day is "Rosy Mood" with Damiana & Butterfly Pea Flowers, an uplifting tea that supports a good mood.  The tea bag even looks happy.  Since I drin...
