"July will be August soon ." Where did summer go? Ok, so that sounds a bit dramatic, but it snows in September here some years, though not recently, it's still a sobering thought for someone who lives for summer . Yes, as much as i complain about this years heat and humidity, i am still enjoying this summer . The grass and the tomato plants are growing much faster than they should.

The chair is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to dry off after an unexpected rain shower. Also did i mention it is comfortable? Watching the glory of the trees and the wind dancing, while clouds and sun are playing tag.Monday, July 28, 2025

Balance in all things, balance in all things.
YES!!! that includes the job and absorbing the beauty of nature.
