I thought about posting the last few days but just couldn’t muster the energy. So now, I am going to spend some quality time in this chair, on the refurbished deck, with my new KOBO and a magazine and a cold beverage.

It has been at least eight years since I have been able to eat a cinnamon roll. But this company has really figured out how to make gluten-free bread products. Of course, it was also a lot easier to avoid such things as bread, cookies, and cinnamon rolls before eating gluten-free became so prevalent but I am happy to be able to indulge occasionally.

I didn’t think that I would but I did – and now I am off playing with my new gadget.

Today is a busy one, not much time for writing, just a little quote and a reminder to enjoy the journey.
Saving the deck

There is much going on at our house this summer. The big project is the deck. After 23 years of rain, snow, and a little bit of sun, it is time to do some repair. Fortunately there are extra hands around to help with the job. It looks like we will have a lovely new spot for sipping champagne by the time our anniversary rolls around.
Saved – rocks

The garden project continues and the piles of rock are growing as much as the weeds. Today I was digging a border between the garden patches and the grass – just wide enough to give the lawnmower some space. And with each turn of the shovel, more rocks were unearthed. I do love rocks. They play a big part in my garden planning – small piles of rocks here and there and then this one – creating a barrier between my space and the wild.
saved – extra hands in the kitchen

When I started this July writing challenge, I didn’t think too much about the theme – Saved. But as the days have passed, I find myself writing about those ordinary moments that too often slip away, the day-to-day bits of live that should be saved. And each day, I find myself enjoying this season of sharing our living space. When I was a parent of young children, I missed many of those moments worrying about such things as a clean kitchen, getting the sheets changed, and picking up shoes. Letting go can be such a good thing.
Saved – a day in the garden

Elizabeth was reflecting recently on things she thought she would be, such as a good gardener. I still think of myself as a gardener even though I have had to restart my garden annually and never get much further than those first few days of weeding and clearing the space. I hope this year will be different. We shall see.
Saved – money

First of all, this is not me. But I do love this dress from JJill. Today I looked at this dress in person and it is just as lovely as I imagined. But, it is not in my budget, sad but true. So, I did what I have done for many years – I headed off to the fabric store to purchase some fabric to make a new summery dress. It won’t be as lovely as this one – I couldn’t find a blue that I liked so I bought a dark grey linen. Not the same but a good option. And maybe this dress will go on sale soon.
