A recent rundown of routine events which are really nothing to write home about, but account for a large part of life, include having coffee while watching the birds on the old building right outside the window. Hopping, chirping, pecking ... normal bird stuff.
Another great blue heron sighting, same body of water, same branch sticking up from the water, but facing a different direction this time. No less glorious the second time around.
Quick pickling and corn shucking after the market. Sometimes when I do these things after the market I like to imagine that I am in a farmhouse in the middle of Kansas, living that life. For just a few hours though because, well, air-conditioning...
A walk at the Baker Wetlands, where a new (to me) sign has been put up to warn of the dangers of playing on the rocks by the river.
It IS ok to play with the little rocks though.
Peach #2. I will attempt not to show you peaches 3 and 4 but I can't promise. They are so pretty.
Finally, here is something I did not take a picture of - while wandering around the house, I happened upon my boxed-up wedding dress in the closet. It was packaged after the wedding 42 years ago, made a brief appearance when one of my nieces put it on for a lark at a shower about 15 years ago, and has been taking up space since then. It was dropped off at a donation spot this week, along with a box of unused, un-needed "decor" items. Ahhhh.... I feel like I have lost 10 pounds whenever I clear something out that someone else may need/want.
