The First Taste of Humidity
Sunday, July 8th 2007
I got off to the park early in order to avoid the expected heat but I had some very comfortable cloud cover for most of the hike and it was actually beginning to rain by the time I got back to the car. We finally got a real thunderstorm so now we have some humidity to add to the heat that will eventually be moving in.Most of the berries at the park are drying up before they ripen. I sure hope the u-pick farm has been getting rain.
Meanwhile the picotee amaryllis that I was hoping wo...
Becalmed
Saturday, July 7th 2007
I was hoping to lose 4 or 5 more pounds before I hit any kind of a plateau but here I am, dead in the water, becalmed. It's a frustrating feeling whether on a sailboat or in the middle of a weight loss effort. But eventually the wind freshens, conditions change and you get moving again so I'm just going to relax and take the time to enjoy where I am, back on a bike, back in some of my summer clothes, much stronger and more fit than I was a few months ago.
A Setback??
Friday, July 6th 2007
I've been surprised to see my scale register much lower than I expected the past few weeks and now I can't believe I seem to have gained back a pound this past week. We didn't eat out last night after all so I didn't have any extra sodium that I know of. I pretty much have no idea what's going on.I guess I'll do another weigh-in on Monday and see where I am.
"Ratatouille" was great, good fun but I have no idea why so many parents are taking their pre-school children to see...
Dry as a Bone

No rain. I even washed some windows yesterday but all the rain went around us, primarily to the south. This morning I've already been out to set up the sprinkler in the front and I plan to move it at least twice before the day is over.There's a lot of weeding to be done but I can't even do that without watering first.
Meanwhile I'm having a hard time trying to decide if I want to dine out this evening at Charlotte's Creekside Inn (http://www.charlottescreekside.com/menu.html). We'r...
Berries
Wednesday, July 4th 2007
Black raspberries are ripening all over the park and since the little patch I had here at the house has pretty much played out I'm enjoying them. I need to reestablish a new plot somewhere around here...The end of next week I'll call to see if the red raspberries are ready down at Grisamore's (http://www.grisamorefarms.com/) and by then I hope to have made a couple of batches of jam from the remaining berries I have in the freezer. And there will be cherries, sweet and sour, and blueberr...
