for today

for today...

outside my window... 91F/sunny

i am thinking...I might drive up to the North Fork Dam

and view the fireworks from 3 different townships

i am thankful for... the plum tomato plants growing in my garden

i am wearing... khaki pants, black cotton shell & flip flops

i am going... grocery shopping for the 4th of July foodstuffs

i am currently reading...  the July issue of Martha Stewart Living

i am hoping... to get my porch windows down and in barn this week

on my mind... gas @ $3.07/gallon, milk @ $2.75/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words... "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass

under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the

clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."

~ John Lubbock ~

from the kitchen... BBQ spareribs, potato salad & cheesecake parfaits

around the house... the ceiling fans are all set on HIGH

one of my favorite things... farmer's markets

i'm creating... a summer blog header

a few plans for the week...  wash the car, yardwork
