View from a Kitchen

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm in a bit of a funk. I try not to post when I feel like this, because my writing comes out all life flashes around me like lightning in a dark sky. What the huh?

Fortunately, summer is saving my poor self. Our lilac bush has come to the rescue, blooming in all its fragrant glory right outside my window, reminding me to stop and smell the . . . lilacs.

Washing dishes isn't so bad when I get to look at this!

Wiped Out

What a weekend. My daughter's soccer team competed in a 3-day tournament, so I spent lots of time at the fields cheering on the girls. We got to bed late last night, and I was looking forward to sleeping in this morning . . .  taking the day easy . . . recovering from our hectic schedule over the last few days. But our septic tank had other plans for me, and woke us up bright and early with the blaring horn of its warning system. Looks like we're in for a day of messing around with sewage. Yay!

I'd rather be sitting in my folding chair at the soccer game.

Dinner last night: spaghetti

Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In

A moose standing on one side of the fence in our back yard . . . 

. . . with her babies on the other side.

Don't worry. A little ol' fence won't keep this mother . . . 

. . . away from her twins!
