It’s a Birthday! The first in several this month! He’s 11! How did that happen? I remember him like this!

But it’s a school day so we will celebrate later!
It’s starting to feel like fall. The temperatures are variable, but the wind has been troublesome. Another new fire has erupted north of us. The ones from two weeks ago are mostly contained. We need rain! And a respite for the firefighters. My neighbor told me he met several members of The Black Hat Hotshot crew from the Pine Ridge Reservation. Help is coming from surrounding areas, a blessing!
Last night we had the first BLTs with tomatoes from our tomato plants. Plus watermelon and fresh pineapple. Yum!
There are more green ones on the vine . I’ll try to baby them along. They are in pots so if frost threatens, we will drag them into the garage.
I’m not positive about the color for September RSC. I think I saw something near the beginning of August, that September would be dark multi colors. I have been culling my fall colors. I’ll show them on Saturday.
Prompt from LeeAnna!
What calming exercises have you successfully used in the past to maintain a level mood?
Lately I have been using some breathing exercises ! Not formal, just small batches of time when I close my eyes and concentrate on breathing in and out slowly. When I was doing chemotherapy years ago, the hospital in Illinois had a tape for meditation that they gave me. Wish I still had a cassette tape player and that tape! Prayer helps too, and these posts of good things and gratitude!
Stay Busy and stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
There's nothing I love more than a bacon tomato sandwich that has slices of tomato from my own garden!
ReplyDeleteBLTs are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love a fresh tomato sandwich!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your grand guy! I bet he is fun as an 11 year old, too.
ReplyDelete(I've always liked that age.) We love BLTs, too - especially with a homegrown tomato. I chose browns for my RSC blocks this month - fall colors!
Will there be cake for the 11yo grandson? BLTs are one of my favorite dinners. Our tomatoes are just about done. One of the reasons I stopped doing RSC was because the prompts were often late - lol!
ReplyDeleteThose grandkids grow up way too quickly! I hope there was a fun party to celebrate #11! Your plate of food looks wonderful -- beautiful colors too! Have a great week!
