WEEKENDING

"I need the sea because
 it teaches me."

~ Pablo Neruda

It's been hot here in the
deep south with temperatures
in the high 90's and heat
indexes over a hundred!
I'm not even going to mention
the humidity, but you know
right? Sigh.

I spend Saturday doing
some house loving, even
completely gutting my ice
box and clearing out quite
a few jars that needed to
be removed. Cleaning out
the ice box is my least
favorite job, but now I am
so pleased with how pretty
it looks so I keep opening
the door to peek.

The corn is ready so it has
been on the menu twice a
day and with the egg production
up they are making a lot of
appearancse too.  Have you heard
that egg prices are going to
sky rocket due to a bird flu?
Kind of scary.

One of my son's stopped by
for a visit and brought me
a gorgeous pair of earrings
he bought while on vacation
in Sedona, AZ. Thank you
Charlie and Ashley, I love
them.

I frogged my grey socks!
Evidently the day I cast on
the second sock I couldn't
measure and when I when .
to fix my error I made a mess.
I really wasn't loving how
they were looking so it was
all for the best, now I can
devote all my attention to
my Hunting Island Shawl.

Today I have been at the beach
and it was nice to see the flag
flying, especially since today
is flag day.  I spent most of
my time in the water, floating,
swimming, planning my week
ahead. Now I'm ready for
Monday, how about you?
