Wednesday, June 22, 2022 2nd day of Summer Breezy Few high White Fluffy Clouds 97 Degrees 5:03 p.m.

Yes, it is rather warm outside. the air conditioning feels quite nice in the house, or any building for that matter. Birds are still hiding in their nests, dogs aren’t going out for a walk just yet, cats are snoozing and all is quiet on the home front. Oh, yes, Tina is at work in the air conditioned Home Depot building.

Last night Pamela came over to play Yahtzee. Normally she wins with high scores and is very lucky in getting lots of yahtzees. last night she won two games and I won one, with 4 Yahtzee’s’. I couldn’t believe it. I kept thinking of Tom Hill who thought keeping the dice with the 1 or ace was just dumb, but I won 3 of my yahtzees with the 1 on all five dice. The other one was with the 5;s. So fun. I have never done that before. It was a great evening. We shall see how this evening goes. Maybe we should change games?….

I didn’t add the credits after my story about Warwick in last evenings blog, so here they are: Adapted from Some Folks Feel the Rain, Others Just Get Wet. James W. Moore Dimensions

I hope that you enjoyed the story. sometimes being part of a team instills in us the effort to put our best foot forward.

Our garden produced nicely today. We were able to pick some radishes, zucchini, romaine lettuce and a yellow squash. That is good eating I think. A nice salad for sure. We are now looking for medium sized loaf pans to bake breads in. The one size we have is to small and the other size is to big. Like Goldy locks, we want the one that is just right, the middle size. We want to make banana bread and zucchini bread, etc. It sounds like shopping to me. Maybe Amazon has them?

Have a wonderful rest of your hump day. Make it a cheerful, pleasant, giving, kind and fun day.

Tuesday, June 21, 2022 Sunny Clear Hot Slight Breeze 94 degrees 4:52 p.m.

I think there is a bit of humidity today as I feel it when I go outside. But, still, not bad for the most part. I nthe house it is nice and comfortable.

The excitement last night was sitting here and watching the fire flies. so pretty and interesting. there were several of them lighting up the grass and area. I don’t know how long they stay or live and when the “season” is over but I do intend to enjoy them as I see them.

Today we had a gold finch dining at out bird feeder. they are so pretty and fun to watch. I do hope he comes back again tomorrow, and bring his friends. You can tell we live an extremely exciting life here in the Secret City.

Not much to talk about so her is the Quote for the day: BELIEF IS ALL YOU NEED. a MAN WAS LOST WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE COUNTRY. As he was trying to read the map he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch. Though he wasn’t injured his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help.

“Warwick can get you out of the ditch,” said the farmer, pointing to an old mule standing in a field. The man looked at the haggardly mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, “yup, old Warwick can do the job.” The man figured he had nothing to lose . The two men and Warwick made their way back to the ditch.

The farmer hitched the mule to the car. With a snap of the reins he shouted. “Pull, Fred Pull. Jack Pull, Ted Pull, Warwick, Pull”. And the mule pulled the car from the ditch with very little effort.

The man was amazed. He thanked the farmer, patted the mule and asked, “Why did you call out all of those other names before you called Warwick? The farmer grinned and said, “Old Warwick is just about blind. As long as he believes he’s part of a team, he doesn’t mind pulling.”

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Enjoy Summer, this is the first day of summer fun, thrills, excitement, short shorts, swimsuits, and dieting. Hit dogs, potato salad, ribs, corn on the cob, yum!
