Aunt Bee Would Be So Pleased With Me

I just got back from checking the fridge to see if there were any cream cheese packages aging to perfection in the bottom of the fridge so I could prepare this Apple Pie!  Please understand that sometimes I leave items in the fridge for so long that they begin to grow stuff on the ingredients that could be mistaken for penicillin.

My personal lab is my kitchen refrigerator.

You might catch me wearing a white lab coat while holding my breath as I empty the contents in the trash 
or making a odd expression that this task isn't pleasant.

All kidding aside...some things in my fridge get overlooked when I don't tidy the inside every week.  

It sometimes surprises me that it can get really gross.

I seem to get the inside of the fridge cleaned out on a regular basis without having to be told to do so.  
I'm pleased about this because there are days I don't want to be a neat freak and clean.  
It's like breathing fresh air to have a clean fridge.

Simple enuff AUNT BEE's APPLE PIE 

sounds like a winner.

Will try.

LIFE IS SHORT.

EAT THE PIE.

Blessings to you this SUMMER and every day,

Staycation Day Five

~DAY FIVE ALREADY~

Was up earlier today sipping coffee with cream 

in the cool of the morning with my Sweetheart.  Windows open to let the cool air in the room.  Summer Locust are buzzing.  Humming.  

Squirrels are clucking in the huge tree that's in the side yard outside the window.

With our Delilah gone, the squirrels freely invade our yard for the walnuts that they love to grab and hide for a later date.  I suppose the clucking is their love language calling others to feast at Home Haven.

  

I have seen more wildlife here on the corner lot of small town america than any other place I have lived including when we lived in the country.  Everything from birds to snakes not to mention the bugs.

Staying HOME this AM with this day beginning with nature singing a song.  I must be diligent in what I do today so my day doesn't slip away from me.  I finished writing out correspondences, but need to go to TOWN for stamps and place envelopes in the mail.  Pick up the mail, purchase a local newspaper and then to the grocery store I must go. 

Looking more like Aunt Bee all the time.

Perhaps Andy Taylor will be downtown with Opie.

Wish I had a pretty hat on my head.

May you have a pleasant and peaceful day,
