Life Lately

Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was great, I went to a fabulous party, spent time at the beach, read 3 books, baked a few new recipes and relaxed. It is officially summer and the weather is hot and humid. No complaints just a comment. In years past I have never really enjoyed summer, in my old age I am savoring it; the lazy days, vacations, bbq’s and more. 

Lately I have been eating a LOT of peaches and cherries, my two favorite fruits that are best in the summer. 

I have been spending time at the waters edge on my morning walk, enjoying the birds, early morning fishermen, and the jumping fish. I have been walking at the ocean, taking long walks in the sand and occasionally dipping in my toes in the still chilly water. 

Hours and hours have been spent on the porch reading with my husband and my pups, sipping lemonade, and relaxing. During the day I like to watch the clouds float by, the dancing fireflies and butterflies and at night I love to see lighting bugs zipping around the yard. If I close my eyes I can see my siblings and I running around with our Ball Jar trying to catch a few. 

I moved my computer downstairs this summer so that I can keep an eye on this little guy( and my mischievous pups.)  I have no idea the life span of a squirrel but for the last several years a squirrel comes and made itself at home on my porch. They come and peep in the kitchen window in the morning if they do not have enough food  in their saucer, they lounge and take naps on the railing. This little guy spent the entire day eating, napping and watching me in the window. 

I have been logging off, taking “stay-cations”, and just enjoying life. 

What have you been up to lately?

I hope that you have a great day!

    Dear, dear Elizabeth….during the school year when I have to RUSH OFF in the morning, getting into your blog was not an easy feat; the wheel would turn and turn, never allowing me time to savor your posts. I just tried again this morning, and HERE YOU ARE, doing the exact same things I'm doing this summer.

    It is SO good to connect with you again, and to see that you too are savoring more of summertime as I am. My summers are very quiet, since many people around me work during the day. My husband used to be in the classroom, so we'd have our summer off together, but in the last 3 years, he has been in administration, so he does have to work. That leaves me in sweet solitude during the day to do as you are doing: walking, gardening, reading, photographing, getting together with a friend.

    That squirrel is HILARIOUS! And we've had our share of peeping Tom squirrels as well. Great shot of this guy! We'd also see them in our tree, literally hanging out as this guy is!!!

    OK my friend, I wish you another smooth, relaxing day.

    I love the pic of your fur baby! And the one of your porch is magazine worthy. I wish I could walk by the ocean. Sounds blissful.

    You amaze me with all you can accomplish in a few days, and what's so wonderful, its all relaxing! I know when I pick up a book and really like it, I can't put it down.

    Your pics are beautiful, but I really love the one of your pooch, and the cute squirrel!

    Summer really is flying by. I need to take some time to sit still!

    Squirrels can live for a number of years in the wild.

    That doggie is irresistible!
