good morning...

It truly is a weird day here.

After a weekend full of so much, Mondays are usually for

getting back on track and routine.

Yet, tomorrow is another holiday.

So, with fits & starts this week of July gets it's fine self off & running.

Here's hoping the rest of the month is smoother.

I will be reading this when I get time over the next 2 days.

I picked it up at the book barn and on a national holiday, I thought it would

be the perfect read.

{ I like reading seasonal books as well as holiday themed ones... }

Reading is my vacation.

I can go anywhere, do anything with anyone I wish as I get drawn into a novel or even a

non-fictional book.

...and don't get me started on cook books!

It has been 4 days of having this migraine.

I am not sure why ...

I am avoiding allergens and the weather has been wonderful.

But I have not slept well in days.

A call to the Dr. tomorrow may be in order.

Speaking of headaches:

Do you run into people throughout the course of your day who may be

socially & or emotionally challenged?

They just don't get how rude they are or perhaps do not care.

I have run into many this weekend.

For me, I always examine my behaviors in any given situation to see my part.

That is the way my mom raised me.

Yet the nasties get my goat every time.

* something to work on I suppose.

Or

I can just continue to spend my time gardening instead.

Plants are rarely rude.

* except for pricker bushes...

;)

I will be planting some gardens around the chieken run today.

Keeping it smelling fine and looking happy while interspersing veggie plants is my goal.

I have planted many an herb garden but small ones that I can change about are my new favorites.

Medicinal & cooking herbs are my favorites, though I have been growing some

in their favorite spots here at Moonshadows for decades, like my Comfrey, lemon balm, tansy & various mints.

They all faithfully self seed & run runners and come back every year.

Tonight are my hometown fireworks.

I can still remember laying on the beach watching them with my friends.

We may venture to a friends beach house to catch them, depending upon 

our exhaustion levels.

* after all it is a work day.

Whatever you are doing friends, have a wonderful & safe day!

I shall meet you back here in the am.

Count those blessings!
