Foggy Morn

-


8:00 AM.........70 degrees........Foggy and humid all night, running the A/C early this year. This morning the air is sweet with the scent of wild mountain honeysuckle and other wonderful aromas. On the way home from the Appalachian concert last night we spotted two deer coming out of the thicket at the side of the road. They watched us for a moment, then gracefully climbed the hill on the other side of the road and disappeared into the woods.

 I may repeat things I've already posted.  It's not due to age. I'm too lazy to go back and  reread what I blogged previously.   I've joined the Murphy Health and Fitness gym that's located right across from Konhete Park where I walk so I can swim now too.  I didn't realize how much I missed being in the water.  The other gym, Erlanger Fit Plus membership runs out in September.  Cliff and I belonged to it since moving here and it has a great rehab program that both of us have used at different times.  One time I asked a therapist about knee discomfort/pain and he showed me ways to strengthen quads and leg muscles to prevent knee weakness.  Cliff did PT a few times for back discomfort due to belly pulling on his back muscles.  After the PT a patient get a free month at the gym.  We did Zumba and yoga classes together.  But now I need to swim.  Pool is heated when the temperatures cool down.   Our mornings have bee...

 My little female hummingbird showed up on the back porch feeder Thursday afternoon.  I figured she had arrived because whenever the male perched on a feeder he craned his neck upward in defensive mode.  My friend, Susan, headed out her door this morning to walk her dog and saw a bear on her property.  A first time for her so she and Nigel went right back inside.  She lives about 10 minutes from me. The temperature was 40 degrees this morning at 8:30 when I headed to Murphy's farmers market in town.  Not many vendors set up early in the season but my favorite husband/wife team are always there....rain or shine.  Today they had their first harvest of baby kale, spinach, and mustard greens.  Bought a bag of each.  She is a native Cherokee Indian and sells her homemade healing salves made with her farm grown herbs. When she sets up each Saturday she burns dried sage to heal, protect, increase wisdom, and boost defense against disease.  This...

 Good morning!  I've been awake since 4:30. Laid there trying to fall back into a gentle sleep.  Did my calming breath routine, went through the body scan slowly telling each limb and body muscles to relax.  Did all the practices that normally calm my mind and muscles back into a light sleep for another hour.  Nothing worked.  Got up at 6 and took my morning tea out onto the back porch.  It's still dark here at 6.  Whippoorwills are back singing every morning now and my first male hummingbird was spotted on the back porch feeder at 2:30 yesterday. Stripped my bed sheets and cleaned out the fruit draw in the refrigerator.  Actually vacuumed out the draw then washed the draw with baking soda and water.   Yesterday afternoon got a frightening call from a female in Jamaica telling me my BOA charge card had been compromised.  The call showed up on the iPhone as potential spam.  I didn't answer it.  The call kept coming in ...
