BLUE SKY

The sky is a deep blue and the sun is slowly starts it's journey across the sky.  Yes I do not wonder that people worshiped the sun as a god.  It feels so good when it welcomes me as I step out my door.  Yes, there is one orange cat waiting to greet me and then hurry on it's way.  It is cool so a two sweater day.  I start out briskly down the hill to the little bridge where the salmon swim under.  Then it is across the shady path on to Scott Road.  Rick knows the way.

Then it is climbing up the hill and off comes one sweater as I am feeling warmer.  By the time I have climbed the hill and reach Sunwood Drive the next sweater comes off.  (this is the closes I will get to being a stripper)  By now my pace has slowed down.  I see a van with camping gear starting out for the holiday week-end.  Then a group of about fifty bikers ride by me making a swishing sound.  I am feeling hunger pangs and a need for a bathroom break.  It has been a good walk.  I get home to find that dad driven out to meet me but some how we must have just missed.  I came home and had scrambled eggs and toast with Melina and Ken's special jam.  Peach, Ginger and Pansy Compote.

Drove over to see Sandra and Randy working on putting a new sidewalk in.  They had dug it out and shaped it and were putting rocks in.  Next they add sand and then the blocks.  They tired me out just seeing them working so hard.  It is no wonder Sandra has a sore hip but she will not listen to me.

We  have been invited out to a party at Cathy and Glen's for Gracelyn's birthday and for Glens.  We will not be staying late.  It starts at 6 and we will be home by 8 in case Kenny skypes.

I enjoyed the walk I had with you today, Beth! You narrative was so descriptive that I felt as though I was walking with you. Down the hill and over the bridge and then up the hill....very nice. I spent the day in the studio, working on an overdue commission piece. Nothing like a deadline to get motivated. It is finished and framed. We had a very rainy day...lots of puddles and best of all, the danger of forest fires has been alleviated, at least for now. Dinty, our new little dog, got very dirty playing with our neighbours dog. He is white, but now a shade of grey...bath time!
Have a lovely Sunday. Love, Nancy
