for today

for today...

outside my window... 68F/clear @ 8:30pm

i am thinking... there are songs on the radio that I only hear in the summer months

i am thankful for... the hummingbirds, and their daily, delightful visits to their feeders

i am wearing... gray cotton tights, linen shell, birkenstock sandals

i am going... to the Dermatologist's office in Corning NY

i am currently reading... Dragonfly, by Leila Meachum

i am hoping... the rain holds off 'til after the July 4th fireworks

on my mind... gas @ $2.85/gallon, milk @ $2.55/gallon, butter @ $3.99/lb

pondering these words...

a perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing,

the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken."

~  James Dent ~

from the kitchen... 

salisbury steaks with mushrooms & gravy

toffee "crack"

cherry limeade

around the house... a new bath mat for the shower :)

one of my favorite things... sour cherries

i'm creating... the July Challenges @ The Lilypad & a new summer blog header

a few plans for the week... laundry; grocery shopping

from my lens:

happiness is ... clothes on the line and a summer breeze
