When I don't know what else to do with myself (and esp. if I'm alone in the house), I sit down at the piano and start to play old songs I learned long ago. Often I will open my computer too, but that's less rewarding. Recently, I've become more of a napper, esp. around 2:30 in the afternoon :) It's horribly hot here too, Pom. We are hibernating inside quite a bit. It's the summer thing to do. I hope you have a sweet trip to see the fam!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-78262143509953030792016-07-27T19:48:08.564-07:002016-07-27T19:48:08.564-07:00I go back to school August 29th.

And I love seeing all my kids. :) Have a great trip!

When I don't know what to do first, I like to clean up the kitchen and/or sweep. Or throw in a load of laundry.<br /><br />August: I usually preserve jelly/jam, peaches, and things from the garden. Not sure how much of that I will get this summer. I like to make a fresh peach pie or two with Colorado Peaches in August. I know, it's hot baking in August, but I need that peach pie (no GF for me). I like to eat fresh Colorado peaches and cream. In August I like to keep doing my watering and yard fiddling in the early morning. I also like to take my walk early. I hope to go swimming with my grandkids in August.<br /><br />I hope you get a yellow kitty. JJo gave all the kittens away but a couple and now we aren't seeing them at all. I'm thinking their mother has taken them out hunting. At least I hope so. I also like that blue back door. It looks like a charming entry spot. <br /><br />Happy Knitting! ~JGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-26595007085864581152016-07-25T08:41:58.906-07:002016-07-25T08:41:58.906-07:00I am so sorry that its been hot.

Its going to be really, really hot here too. <br />I need to do the same thing for my office too.<br />I like your little back door and I like the idea of you getting a kitty. <br />There is something about having furry friends in your house.

They stop other cats doing smelly things in your garden, they make a home feel homey, they love you back.... other Augusty things are: go out for the day not knowing where you will end up, take a picnic. Go swimming, sleep in the garden in the afternoon, get childrens from the library and read them to yourself (and cat), cook outdoors... hope you do all of these (I will be!)

You sure are being mysterious about the content of your pod casts. I'm getting very curious!<br />I went gluten free for a couple of weeks and then gave up. My daughter said I needed to do it a lot longer before I could see results. Sorry, I missed good tasting food!!<br />I remember when we lived in Colorado, we were only a few miles from the mountains, but we seldom went there. I guess you feel like you can visit them any time, so it doesn't seem urgent? :) It was lovely to drive through them.<br />Keep enjoying your knitting. Hope you can get a kitty!<br />Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-38368784223989038192016-07-24T20:14:38.101-07:002016-07-24T20:14:38.101-07:00It's time for a We're-Not-Going-Back-to-Sc...It's time for a We're-Not-Going-Back-to-School Party!
