Finally Sunshine

It was sunny today! Hooray! I waited until after lunch so that the grass was dry before going out to mow. I have to confess that I am still so grateful that I can walk and breathe and exert myself, mowing the lawn in one stretch without having to have a rest after every pass like I did last summer. Anemia is no joke.

 

The orange day lilies are blooming like crazy. I had to turn the mower around and knocked off a whole bunch of spent blossoms which only made them look better. I was just glad that I didn't get pollen all over myself.

 


Instead of birds I give you this baby bunny. It's been hanging around the last couple days, nibbling on the grass and violet leaves under the birdbath. It hopped up onto the step outside the patio door this afternoon but I wasn't fast enough to get a picture. It was so cute scrubbing its little face with its front paws. Awww.

 

This last month or so I've slacked off on the Investment Cooking. I'll get back to it one of these days but this weekend I marinated a whole family pack of chicken breasts and grilled them today. Now I have enough grilled chicken for 2 weeks of suppers. Yum!

 


I managed to buckle down before supper and draw a Gratitude Journal page for today. It's not a big deal but I do miss it when I don't do it. I like trying to draw the little cartoons for the things I'm thankful for.


After supper and a shower to wash off the grilling and mowing dirt I sat on the couch and watched two more episodes of Bridgerton. Only two more episodes of Season 3 to go! The suspense is killing me. Will Lady Whistledown be unmasked? Will Penelope and Colin wed? I prefer to spread out my watching so that I can savor each nuance and intrigue. Life is so dull compared to what goes on on the TV.

Finally tomorrow morning the fridge fixit guy is coming to see if he can stop the flood of water inside the box. It's not a catastrophic flood just a little water on a couple shelves. Man, I hope it's just a plugged drain hose. I do not want to buy a new fridge.

Fingers crossed for you on the fridge situation. It makes me happy to read that you can mow with vigor -- back and forth and back and forth -- without having to stop. Yay for good health!! And for a sunny day to enjoy it. XXX
