It's more than half over - this month of August. I can already tell that it's not light as early as it used to be. Summer is doing what it always does, going away.
But it's been perfect this week, enough sun, enough rain, enough cool work weather. I love being up north.
- Hiked at Hunt Hill Audubon Camp. Such a beautiful 2.8 mile trek around lakes and forest. The blackberries are huge this summer and we had to grab a few off the bushes we went past.
Just one of the lakes we skirted.
- Worked on my first book project. I'm not reading this time, I'm writing. It is ready for editing. It's about my journey with Dennis, through our years with Lewy Body Dementia.
- Connected with family over a breakfast at my condo, and with friends for breakfast at a restaurant. Breakfast is my major meal of the day. Why not share it with precious people?
- Thought and planned for the trip coming up in September.
- Got in a war with the deer and rabbits over possession of my flower garden
Garden beauty draws predators, and it's not just because they're hungry. There's plenty to eat this time of year.
- Made some noticeable advances in my Spanish language learning
- Spent time with Mom and her brother, my Uncle Wendell. It's good to have someone in my life who's older than me, and there are fewer of those people around.
- Spent a lot of time watching videos of this munchkin.
Gwennie, my favorite video personality
- Gratitude time, walking the wetlands and counting the deer that cross my path. They are either not afraid of me, or I'm invisible now.
Two littles with spots and three adults. They knew they had me outnumbered and didn't care what I would do.
Lastly, I spent hours trying to regain access to my blog website this week. Not sure how he did it, but Ryan Bruels got me back in possession, and I'm grateful for that. It's not just physical journals that can suddenly become nonfunctional. There's that web thing and all the entities behind it…
