Relief

Finally. Finally. The temperature and humidity have both lowered. It's been a long, hot summer. I should be outside taking advantage of the opportunity to work in the gardens. Instead, I'm drinking coffee and typing. Working, being active is a habit and it's one I have broken. Small steps, as is said. 

I did busy myself yesterday morning making sandwich buns and baking chicken for the lunch sandwiches. It's difficult for me to realize I have become a Haus Frau. At least more so than an active outside person. Life does throw obstacles, doesn't it? On the positive, I'm doing well with PT, I just need to stay on top of my exercises. And also, to stop doing stupid things which set me back. There's the hard part.

My yard is ablaze with phlox. They are beautiful and obnoxiously invasive. About fifteen years ago I planted a small amount in one of the flower beds. Now, they have taken over, an invasion of the phlox is successful. Also, morning glory. This does not spread to other areas but it has consumed the garden it's in. Every plant is covered with the vines. Ah..... the troubles, the troubles.

Another leftover meal. The lunch chicken became part of dinner. Can't beat that.

Is any day complete without a photo of a cat. A Gatto Cat? I think not.
