Day 1139 of Week 20 May 2024
Day jumping is the theme this week as each day feels to me like tomorrow. My Friday gone Saturday brain is already waving nostalgic for cartoons and Shredded Wheat.
This week-end is bring out the summer, put away the winter clothes. Starting today feels right because it feels like Saturday anyway.
In retirement for so many years, my mind is still in the work week rythmn. After 5 PM, the day is done. Friday is a thank goodness the week is over.
The weather report has been adding 70ºF temperatures more often. The plants and I are happy about that.
Have a Happy Weekend!

We are just avoiding snow today. We had it earlier this week. Cold and wet again today!
ReplyDeletePrayers for a warmer Spring!
DeleteSnow this late is awful.
It's funny how the feel of different days lingers long after the routine tasks have gone away. Like school leaving a lot of people with the feeling that the year begins in September.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteSeptember! Yes, it does linger.
That time of year I buy notebook paper, and think I need to buy new clothes and shoes. lol
I've been seeing so many berries on the vines when I hike. I can't wait for them to ripen! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteDiane,
DeleteHappy Berry Picking!
There is nothing better than having berries right out in nature. In Maine, tiny strawberries longside a dirt road, had the biggest sweet strawberry flavor of any I've ever tasted.
i only "kind of" work and i never know what day it is!! i am excited for flowers in the garden, (which ones are next) and berry picking!! always hoping for peace!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
DeleteHoping for peace is what every needs to focus on. Times are scarier everyday.
I was also going to put away the winter clothes this weekend, and bring out the Spring clothes. I had my heater on up until now, as it is still cold in the mornings and evenings, the 40's. But lately I have felt the warmth of Spring. Making homemade lemonade from scratch sounds delightful. I love anything lemon. ; ) Have a peaceful weekend.

Sheri,
DeleteA peace weekend to you
I have so far, one stack of winter clothes ready to either go to the thrift store that takes everything anytime or get packed away. It can be a hassle remembering when donations are being accepted. Plus, I like the days when you could just drop stuff off at a thrift store, and not be go through an inspection and interogation about what you are donating.
I wanted to weed tomorrow, but it rained al day today. There goes my plans. Will be too muddy now. I love fresh picked berries. Janice
ReplyDeleteJanice,
DeleteWeeding is easier after the rain, messier, but easy is good.
Happy Gardening!
Our weekend looks to be wet! I hope they are wrong. Have a very good one.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteThe weather radar says you are correct. Unless you are in one of those dry spots where it rains everywhere but there, there will be rain.
Have a happy weekend anyway.
Oddly, shredded wheat (gross as it was) often was on the breakfast table on Saturdays when I was a kid. My mother would pour hot water over it and maybe add a bit of brown sugar. It tasted like eating hay. I couldn't have milk on it because of my lactose issue.
ReplyDeleteI love your 'each day feels like tomorrow' statement.
Maryanne,
DeleteHot water and brown sugar sounds wonderful.
I imagine today, the shredded wheat will fit the cereal bowl with room to spare as portions nowadays are smaller than when
we were kids. A 1950 can of soup to serve 4 with a can water added is now a single serve can of soup.
You express so well what is happening today in your life ~ and great weekend suggestions too ~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,
