I had a lovely day today; Melissa and I went to lunch, the library, and the Chrysler Museum. Can you tell how happy being with her makes me?
This is one of the sculptures we saw; there was a whole series of them, showing the brain inside each one as well as the heart in this one. Interesting.
Gracie is enjoying her summer too; she gets up when I do, then promptly settles in for a nap.
She has the cutest face!
My hollyhock finally bloomed; I wish I had planted a few more, instead of just this one, but I was trying a few different plants out to see which ones did well enough to keep. I'd say this one is a winner, except Steve doesn't like it for some reason.
I took this picture on Monday from underneath my beach umbrella. This is the first summer I'm actually sitting under it and I quite enjoy it. I think I'm getting old.
I am walking 40 minutes every day, which was my summer goal, and today I walked for an hour in the morning and another 30 minutes after dinner. The temperature didn't go over 85 degrees today, probably because we had a big thunderstorm last night, so I opened all our windows and gave our AC unit a break. It's back on now though, partly because our neighborhood is so noisy at night and partly because I find it hard to sleep while sweating. Plus the temperature will be back in the nineties for the foreseeable future, which is too hot for me.
Can I just say how very much I love these lazy summer days?

Your day sounds lovely. My first thought when I saw the picture of the brain guy was Dr Spock from Star Trek! Summer goes too quickly doesn't it?

DeleteI didn't see that until I posted the picture and then it jumped out at me too!
DeleteI am so sorry I wasn't more organized about my trip. I do appreciate that you tried! I will try to be better next summer.
ReplyDeleteThese summer days are awesome. And, yes, Gracey has a beautiful face -- and I don't say that about every cat!
Don't apologize! I totally understand; traveling as soon as school lets out can be very hectic! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
DeleteYou both have the same beautiful smile. Enjoy your weekend,

Oh, the life of a cat! We could all take a lesson.
ReplyDeleteI love hollyhocks, especially a row of them along a fence. They can be showstoppers. I saw a gorgeous black variety that was really unusual.
I'm envious of your sunshine! June has been nothing but rain here in OH, and I'm waterlogged. Ugh. I'm checking for webbing on my feet as I type. LOL.
