So a nod to all the Dads out there...especially those who didn't have to be...but did anyway!
The end of a beautiful week. Enjoyed the warm sunny days and cooler nights. Good, since talking to my Florida boys I have heard...it's sooooo hot. It's sooooo wet. LMAO. Suck it up...guys!
Plenty of bask...reading and gardening time. And a nice surprise as my tiny "fairy roses" are just beginning to bloom.
I love the colour...peach and yellows and pinks...like a morning sunrise!
From the Daily Round of Mozart and Beethoven to the more recent Joyce Carol Oates and Stephen King a glimpse into "preparation". Sometimes as simple as a glass of wine or a bar of good chocolate. Sometimes so ritualistic it borders on the bizarre.
A fascinating read.
And in queue for Stephen King's recent release "Joyland" which sounds very promising! A fellow bibliophile swears it is written more in the old SK style. I am hopeful. And our online book club has agreed to give NOS4A2 (Joe Hill) a chance! Having just finished it recently...I am wildly enthusiastic and give it a 10/10.
"Idgy" only
more days!!!
and a few hundred gazing balls.
Can't wait! GIMY...
So Diane is now in "Duckville" with Sal...who has decided that her new attire should be a burqa...hon...I have DUCT TAPE. We can FIX this problem. And Lillian informs us today she now has applied for her Russian Visa...doing retirement up in style...Ralph is keeping watch on the wildfires for us (and keeping the crops safe, I'm betting)...Carol is busy out showing The Beast...and Dave can't wait to sample our American micro-brews...lol. Come on August!!!
Grilling steak with mushrooms and onions and going to settle in with a good film.
Enjoy the weekend!
