The Morning After

Sometimes you just have to choose to settle down, rest, and change gears.  After two weeks of non-stop fun and travel and visiting, I should not be surprised at feeling like doing nothing!!  The only reason I drove into town this afternoon was that I was totally out of milk and had to turn in a library book that was due.  Other than that, I unpacked, decided what was pressing to do - next week.

One thing that took a bit of time today was sorting through two-weeks worth of mail.  I missed my family in Massachusetts, but then other family are here.  I looked around the house and was very happy that I had made it clean before I left.

The yard is greener than ever before!  It was storming when I flew into Lexington yesterday and it rained some today.  I picked several cherry tomatoes; they have done well this year.  The "Big Boy" tomatoes have been a big disappointment.

What I missed most of all about my yard when I was gone was the strikingly gorgeous blooming mini-pom-poms of my Mimosa tree in the back yard.  I feared the blooms would all be gone when I returned but they were still looking good.

The mimosa tree looks great any time of the day but when it is backlit by the sun, the blooms seem to be little pink lights!

It's too early to think of bedtime, although I'm sleepy.  The most ambitious thing I'll do tonight is watch a Netflix mystery.  I'm watching the "Midsommer Murders," a British series.  Bye for now!
