Barry said that my hobby garden is just beautiful. That it makes the yard.

My "Sweet and Savory" bouquet.

It is our first day of summer vacation, and I am enjoying it. Barry got up early and got himself out to work. I heard the door close on his way out, but nothing before that. I got up around 5:30, and was heading for the writing shack by 6:30. If I had prepared a little better I could have started some laundry, but instead I fed the dog and the cat and got dressed and headed over. 

On one trip between here and the house I grabbed my largest limb cutter and spent about 30 minutes getting rid of some large-limbed things. I am happier with my view out of my window. I just heard a crackle. I wonder what that is?

Barry worked outside all day yesterday and was in no mood to cook, so we went out to dinner. Usually when he asks me if I have a particular place in mind, I don't. But last night I did, so I said, "Ask me where I want to go!" He with enough of jokey tone to keep it light said, "No. Would you like to tell me where you might like for me to take you?" I laughed and told the boys to cover their ears. I said quietly, "That steak place at the mall." He kinda laughed ... "Do you know where I was thinking?" "That steak place at the mall." So, Logan's it was. I told the boys if they had leftovers, they could eat them for lunch the next day, so they happily ordered exactly what they wanted, which happened to be the pork trio. 

Derek has done his daily reports for the last three days, so I'm happy about that. 

It is warming up, but up till now I have certainly enjoyed the cool of the morning. 

Shawn and Tyler laughing and talking in the back of the car on our way to and from the restaurant.

Shawn and Tyler laughing and talking, the day before school was out, at the bus stop. Tyler had to be out there early, so they were out together. I rushed out and didn't have my phone, which is too bad, because it would have made a great picture. 

I cut two gladiolas from my Phew! garden and filled the vase with them and some rosemary cuttings. I called it a Sweet and Savory bouquet, which I thought was fun, and I have a great picture, but I can not get it to upload here for love nor money!

Winding up the school year, and feeling pretty good about the way I handled my responsibilities. Also pretty happy with the way the boys have handled their Getting Ready for School lists, their chore lists, and their laundry, etc. 

It is a coolish (with the fan, anyway, day) so I'm able to have the windows open. 

My garden in bloom makes me happy. I am making note of that. 

The pool guy was supposed to come last night, so maybe I'll get to start swimming. I am ready about that. 

Got to (text) visit with Kennedy last night.

Sometimes, even when you are full of promise, you have to put your head down for a minute.

Kat Poiroux planted these flowers and I love they way they look against this old shed. A fun surprise after a day at the computer.
