Good morning from humid and hot Delta.
Yes, Matilda, Fall always seems like the start of a brand new year to me too. I hope the situation with your parents stays stable this winter. It's very hard to "parent" your parents. I did it for years. I hope the new supervisor at work eases things a bit for you.
Cyndi, I thought of you yesterday as I used my mandolin to slice zucchini and used the guard! It was nice not to have pink slices! I think I over-dried my yellow beans - they look like macaroni but will probably be OK in soup. Enjoy the office clean-out. Pitching or recycling stuff is very liberating.
Linda, we won't be hot and humid in Cape Breton! Terri was in for tea yesterday and said to "Think fall." It always seems strange to me that school starts up in August. Around here it's always the day after Labour Day which will be September 7. Of course there are classes until nearly the last day of June.
The darling dogs are off to the doggie spa this morning. I suspect they may have very short fur since there seem to be lots of matted spots. They do enjoy their jungle of a dogyard but get burs and wee bits of stuff in their coats. I really should brush them more. I will make a trip to town to clear a bunch of silly niggles while they are being beautified.
Tomorrow Ilene, another MOD in here, is coming for lunch with her DH and another couple. I'm considering Salsa Chicken with salad and will order some whole wheat baguettes from the bakery at the store. I might bake that decadent rum cake for dessert if I have time tonight.
Right now, it's time to crank up my day.
Happy Tuesday!
