In Spring A Woman's Fancy Turns To Thoughts Of.......


Today a coworker asked if today was the last day of May.  When I replied yes she asked , then is tomorrow the first day of July? 

Yes, yes it is, I said.  With temperatures hitting 95 and humidity close to 70%, I think she's right.  We'll be skipping June  this year and heading right on to the 4th of July.  


 Yesterday's shopping list included such delicacies as  sparkling water, more water, bags of limes and lemons, a cantaloupe, a pineapple, yogurt, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes and bug repellent. A few cold cuts, bread and did I say sparking water?  Oh and blueberries, avocados and beer and sunscreen.  Apparently we're going to picnic ourselves through the heat.


 If I had known we'd be missing a month I would have grabbed some sparklers, marshmallows and graham crackers. 

Do I get to skip a mortgage payment too?

  12. Razamataz, it was be a godsend! More $$$ for the garden:)

    Sarah, Maybe we can switch houses? Yours looks pretty dreamy...

    mise, anxiously checking mailbox, will spend extra $$$ on a plane ticket.

    gardenrooms, Are you all rainy and still in spring?

    flowersonmytable, happy July 1st! Now I've saved you some money.

    S&Z, thank you, can't wait to eat our own tomatoes.

    Karen, are you swimming out to your car every morning?

    Webb, you are my business manager, right? Could you shoot a letter to BOA?

    Steve, we'll be eating pretty on your porch soon!

    Sherri B., We always have a windowsill full of tomatoes in varying states of ripeness.

    SaraLouise, But this means you can wear jeans again, right?

    Deb, Yay, you can comment again! You are officially a year younger!

  13. Hmm, I shouldn't look at delicious-looking food pictures when I'm hungry. It makes me want to do dangerous things...like make a lunch that could choke a pig.

  14. Thanks for the laugh. If only the mortgage lenders based their payments on the weather, rather than the months! That salami looks dreamy...guess I shouldn't have skipped breakfast today!

  15. I noticed your mention of sparkling water. I'm not one to promote products, but we just bought SodaStream's Penguin model and it rocks! Homemade sparking water. Love it. No more grocery visits...no more bottles. If you are too hot today, hop on a plane. We are expecting light hail.

  16. Katie, I hope you survived the temptation..

    Falls Flowers, Right, based on hot I would save 4 months of $$$.

    Denise, It really works? I'm always disappointed by friends offerings of " sparkling" water. never enough sparkle for me. But you I trust. I'll go look it up. Thanks.

  17. Yes, it really sparkles, good fizz. You actually control the amount of fizz you want with my model. My preferred fizz = 4 whistles...

  18. Jane are those the whole foods cucumber tomatoes? I bought some today because they looked like the same color as yours. That storm slammed into mass last night. No damage here, but central mass was slammed!
