Coastal Reflections

Thursday Thirteen - July 20, 2006

Thirteen things happening on my homestead today....

1. Today was co-op pickup day so the fridge is loaded with lots of great organic fruits and veggies.

2. The clouds are moving in, the sky is darkening and rain is in the forecast for the rest of the day.

3. Doctor's appointment for me this morning with some disappointing news.

4. My 2 beautiful guys are napping so I am enjoying a bit of peaceful silence.

5. The cat is curled up sweetly at the base of an enormous oak tree.

6. I'll be making a list in just a bit of the clothing items that ds1 is in need of (I had him try on everything in his closet earlier this week).  Our tax free shopping days start this Saturday so I am preparing myself before I hit the stores.  I'll go through ds2's clothes later today as well and make a list.

7. Ds1 has requested to watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe later today so that'll be in our dvd player.

8. The breeze is creating soft ripples across the pond.

9. One of the front window screens is half hanging down from the window (the cat decided to climb the screen the other night).

10. Library books litter the sofa and loveseat (offering opportunities to read about leopards, tigers, bobcats, healthy/organic eating, and folktales).

11. The three lazy bums (also known as the dogs) are snoozing peacefully on the living room floor.

12. Boxes of laminate flooring are still piled up in one corner of the living room waiting to be installed in the hallway, living room, dining room, and kitchen.

13. A sweet little towhead has just awoken and flashed me a smile that made my heart soar.

Great

We have 3 lazy bum dogs and 1 lazy cat sleeping in the living room now too! I guess this is what they mean by the dog days of summer!
