Yes, it is the first day of my "Summer Camp" and so far I have done my exercises, tai chi and journaling.  

It's very dark out.  Although it was supposed to have rained already, everything is dry outside.  I hope to get the tarp back on Duchess before the rain really starts.  Once it begins, it's scheduled to last all day!  Guess not a day to work outside!

So how are the cats getting along?  Well, so far we have introduced Kenya only to Cookie Monster and although it looks like they are okay together...things are still up in the air.  No fighting but neither cat is allowing the other to become the Alpha Kitty...going to be interesting...


I did get the rest of the plans for my 'Summer Camp' finished.  I made another journal, this one for crafts and reading...

There's only one four page layout for each craft/reading...

Each craft/reading has one section per week to fill out as to what the activity was...


This allows me the freedom to develop my craft projects as summer continues.

I also made a small 'Specimen Book' (about 3" by 5") out of a grocery bag and some cardstock...


Each of the three four-page layouts had four pockets in which I can pull out the folded cardstock card and place small flowers, leaves, etc. in when out and about.  I can then add them to my drying gadget when I get home...



I need to get out and pick out a tree to learn about before the rain starts!  Think I will pick a close one, take a picture, find a leaf and some bark and do the rest inside!

So what do you have planned for this summer?  I hope you find some time to undertake some special project for this summer.  No, not something that needs to be done like mowing or painting or fixing things...but rather something that you want to do.  Maybe you only have a short time each day or each week to devote to it.  That doesn't matter.  What matters is that you take that time and do it.  Remember, you are worth it...

Have a wonderful day...
Talk with you tomorrow...
