Lazy Days of Summer

On days like today...hot ones when we have a heat advisory...it is best to stay in and just be lazy! I have done a little of being lazy and a little getting a few things done around the house. The lazy part was I finished reading another book. This book keeps me one book ahead...completed the first book for August. So far this year, I am ahead in my reading goal of 52 books a year = one book a week...but the last week, I did more stitching than reading. The last few days I have done more reading than stitching. My main plan is to read 4 books a month...and once in a while 5 in a month to give me the 4 beyond 48 books...and in the end I will have read at least 52 books by December 31. There have been years that I have more than doubled my goal...especially during the "Covid years." I also dealt with the tomatoes that I have grown this year...peeled them, getting ready to make a pasta recipe that is a favorite of mine. I will need to go to the store for a few items tomorrow so I can make that recipe plus get this week's sales items that I need. I ventured out long enough to check the mail and empty the compost bucket. You could pretty much cut the atmosphere with a knife! Pretty stifling! Supposedly the heat advisory ends shortly this evening...and hopefully we will see a break in our heat...time will tell! I went upstairs this afternoon to get the sewing table ready for my sewing project for Kathy...and ended up doing a little vacuuming and dusting, too. I am about ready to do the project...maybe this evening if I'm not too tired...but probably will wait till in the morning till I am fresher...less chance of error! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Try to stay cool!!!!Well, I had a photo posted...but something went wrong the link...now it won't let me access my photos...I'll try again later!
