The thermometer
says it is in the 80’s but by afternoon, the humidity makes it feel much hotter
and stickier than that. Mornings are perfect though for hot tea and a muffin to
go with a good read early in the day. After cussing and discussing the loss of our
maple tree last fall, we had to face doing something to help shade the deck. We
had to compromise between us too, and finally, we had a solution…we hope. Time
will tell.
Innocent face you
say! This dog has ADD with a dash of bipolar issues. She is smart, but when we
call her she checks her appointment calendar to see if there is something
better to do first. Yesterday while putting groceries into the truck, she
jumped out of said truck…and ran. Successfully dodging cars at Walmart on
Saturday morning is NOT my idea of how to start a weekend! Nice dog people
helped herd her back to a truck with all doors opened where she jumped in
panting (and smiling) with a look that said “What fun THAT game was!”
At the farmers
market, we found nice tomatoes already…and some green ones. Oh, it was fried
green tomatoes for lunch on the deck today! And some homemade pasta and cheese
made from scratch. I had some Irish white cheddar (from Sam’s) that was strong and
a bit crumbly. I added some leftover cream cheese, bit of leftover mascarpone,
and some leftover (again cream). Yum. Made the best stuff!
For the first time
in months, I have been writing. Hammering out a story on the deck this morning
with the laptop was great. Now for the rewriting which is where the real work
is. I hope I can keep this spurt of creativity alive since my creative fire has
been mere embers for months. I have also got a stack of books that look so good
they appear as inviting as a cool lake swim on a hot day!
So it is June 1 and
it feels like summer…and I hope many days ahead are like this simple Sunday!

A magical day (despite the frustrations). And many more to come.
Fried green tomatoes.
Drool.
Sounds like a perfect (nearly) summer Sunday. Good post. Keep that writing going.
I know exactly how you feel. I come alive in summer. Your pooch sounds like a delightful handful. I am till in school until the 20th.
Good thing I was eating when I was reading this, otherwise, I would want to be after hearing about your food. I don't think I've had fried green tomatoes... yet. Fried pickles. Fried green beans. Okay, so what's not good fried?
The story of your pooch made me laugh out loud. So glad no one was hurt in that escapade! And what a face. Oh, my goodness. She's beautiful.
Oh Bookie, that pasta dish must have been fabulous. It defies description it looks so YUMMY.
Thank you SO MUCH for supporting Vickie. She is a darling girl and a very good writer, as well. You were so kind to support her.
Take care, Bookie, and have a wonderful rest of the weekend. Susan
Hi Bookie, I enjoyed meeting you on my new blog and jumped over to yours. What a great blog - love that dog! Aren't they smart and full of mischief? Sorry about your maple...it was a very rough winter for us too (see my blog #2). Glad to meet you today and look forward to following your tales. Best, Vickie
