it was beautiful out today,, I went to help pick grapes at the winery this morning..... tomorrow the contractor will hang an interior door, and I think Brandon is coming to clear weeds .....it will warm up a bit later in the week but evenings in the 50's is very refreshing! Heather was up yesterday and we had a nice visit... Kendra has a boy friends, so she didn;t come. I need to rest more, cause I have been going non stop for weeks! thanks for opening the new cafe, PL!

I slept like a rock last night once I fell asleep. I was going to pick grapes but I also needed to see if the crew was coming here, so I overslept.. lol must have needed it!
It is beautiful today, but the temp and the humidity is rising, tomorrow storms, some severe then highes in the 60's!!! I'm ready for that, but I do love fall with warmth and less humidity!
have a great Thurs

Glad you got to have a nice visit with Heather, SAR. The day I was trying to set up the September cafe I had picked out some pretty images but none of them would post for some reason. Not sure why. I see that you were able to.
It's warm today and 88 degrees at the moment but it's going to be a lot cooler the next several days. No doubt it will warm up again after that like it always does. I didn't have any appointments today, so I worked outside and harvested herbs to clean and dry and did a little clean up. And now it's time for . LOL, I'm like a toddler and gotta have my afternoon nap.

been up and let the kitties out and then I heard thunder, so put them away, then the sun came out, then I heard thunder...lol typical woman, Mother nature!!!
I have plans with a group of ladies to go to one winery tonight, then another group tomorrow night to one of my local hangouts... same band playing both nights.... I will get in my physiv\cal work outs... I can't tell, but when heather was up she said mom! youre losing weight, must be the dancing.. I see pictures and I think.. ummm No! lol@ but I have some jeans that just hang on me, and others that were too tight fit nice.. :) still could drop 30 more.. but I;d rather tone up and that is so much harder in the 7th decade@
I've been busy making tinctures and labeling and shaking, and organizing... hope you all have a great week end,.

So glad to hear that you got to go out dancing over the weekend, SAR! Sounds like you had fun
Nights have been cool, down in the 40's and 50's the last couple of nights, with low 70's during the day, although it will warm up to the 80's til the weekend. So nice to be able to open windows and not turn on the a/c! Looks like tropical storm Francine is getting ready to hit the southern gulf states and is supposed to make almost a beeline for us...if things don't change. We badly need the so praying and hoping it doesn't pass us by again. SAR, it may be headed your way after that!
Baking fish and making a stir fry with broccoli, mushrooms, onions, zucchini and garlic for lunch. Hope everyone is starting their week out with good intentions and with good luck!

busy busy and then to deal with being dizzy... today I washed linens and hung them out to dry they dried in 20 minutes! no humidity and gently breeze....tomorrow contractor is coming , yesterday I harvested more herbs, today I strained some I started back in July. I put them in bottles and in brown bags till I get more brown bottles. we're in a drought and more than 5 inches below normal... I started with ear tones yesterday and then dizzy, I see there was an EQ in Cal. but I feeling one is coming on the east side,. I also was cooking in the crock pots and going to freeze portions, I cooked corn on cob and cut it off and frozen.. I'm tired and still have to remake the bed and shower and hope to watch the ISS flyover at 8.48 pm. hope you all have a good evening.. and Happy Birthday Fred.. CSue's !

SAR, hope you are out enjoying yourself this evening and not having trouble with dizzy spells!
Looks like Francine didn't make it up your direction. We got some and a mild storm or two, but that's about it. I don't think we got enough to really break our drought, though. Nice weather all week coming up, mostly in the lower 80's for the next week. I need to get out and harvest more herbs as well, especially the peppermint because I love peppermint ! Have several medical and PT appointments this week so will have to work that in.
Having lunch with a friend tomorrow and then hoping to get to a small farmer's market if my leg holds up. Hope you are all having a great weekend!
