Taking Summer SLOW

Hello from my place to yours.

I'd have that porch fan on if this were 

my REAL place.

HOT enough to drop.

Heard of SHOP TILL YOU DROP?

I dropped when my Sister came to visit me

 in the Kansas Flint Hills.

Each time we'd opened the auto door 

even with the windows cracked,

it was like a furnace blast.

NO shade trees in the parking lots.

Thought I was gonna die.

The meds I take and the lost ability for me to cool off like a normal person caused problems.

Still had fun with her shopping,

but I had to make a declaration to change 

how I SHOP and do things in the SUMMER HEAT.

Every once in a while a cooler breeze will blow and it's as refreshing as can be.

Hubby and I are workin' hard at downsizing.

We've rearranged some rooms,

casted off the cast offs,

making preparations to PAINT the master bedroom

ceiling and walls in the next few days.

I'll wash the windows and shutters when this CHORE is completed
 then hang some lace panels in place of the sheer panels.

Think the sheers will end up in the BUMP-OUT that's on the front of the house.
 I have talked about hanging sheers for the LONGEST TIME.

During the month of JULY,

I'll hang pretty lace panels in our NEW DINING ROOM above the wood shutters.

Light can stream through the window and I can still ENJOY the sight I see as I glance out the window.

For now my handy computer that is a dinosaur

sits on the window sill.

Maybe,

I'll feel a cool breeze over the 4th of July 

and sit while sippin' LEMONADE.

Doesn't that sound almost DREAMY.

Sappy here.

I could make ice cubes that I froze lemon balm 

or mint sprigs in the cube to use for HOME-made Lemonade.

Boy, do I ever have a delicious Lemonade recipe 

to share.

 God Bless you and yours.

God bless AMERICA

and may you have a very HAPPY 4th HOLIDAY,
