I, once again, did not get up in time to walk in the coolness of the morning so unto the bike I went...and so far I have one out of four of the core exercises done!
Last Friday was a hot day also so we got up early and went to the Catskills where it's always at least ten to fifteen degrees cooler. One of the things I saw was a barn quilt. I keep saying I am going on the barn quilt tour but haven't done so yet. That seems to me to be a fall activity. But here's the one I saw on Friday...
Isn't that striking? It looks like a take on a Primitive Star Pattern.
So we went hunting for trailheads (where hikes begin) and many of the roads went from tarred to gravel to dirt to two ruts! All through forest. Good thing we took SnowWhite because a car would not have made it.
So we are coming to the end of July...again I ask, where does the time go? Most of my crops are doing well. I will have lots of tomatoes, several eggplant and squash. But I seem to miss the cucumbers until they turn yellow! The flowers are also beautiful but I still have some in pots that need planting.
I did get the quilt guild summer newsletter out with only two mistakes, one not of my making but I will apologize in the next newsletter. I need to work on the website over the next several weeks. I want it finished by the first of September but that's spending only a few hours a day.Now that the collage fish is done...still need a name...I need a new project. It will be another collage but not sure if I want to try a landscape or a single subject. That's this week's decision to make along with some sketches.
What about you? Any projects to finish up in July? And then what about August? I'm going to suggest that August be low-keyed for us. Yes, finish up summer projects, even begin new ones, but do them all at a slow pace with lots of time built in for rest and relaxation and enjoyment. We will need that energy to use in the fall when the pace of activities gears up.
In the meantime, take it easy today if you are in a heat wave...
Talk with you tomorrow...
