This sweet statue graces the courtyard in the garden outside of our window here in Beacon Hill. Lovely 🙂

PS: sorry for the graininess…better photos coming soon, I promise….

These rose blossoms are no bigger than your pinky fingernail. It’s amazing that such beauty and perfection comes in such a small package!

Again, another one of my windowsill arrangements. 🙂

If you’d like, any of you can come to my house and wash dishes and enjoy the view. 🙂

Was in air conditioning for most of the day as I ran errands (hooray for AC, thumbs down to errands):

-filled up the gas tank

-dropped by school to pick up some paperwork

-oil change at the car dealer (opted not to get the $700+ suggested repairs. thinking of jettisoning the car altogether…)

-bus passes for kids (geez, they charge each family hundreds of dollars for schoolbus service!)

-art store

The latter was the very funnest errand. Bought some random art supplies for little projects I’ve been dreaming about. Will report back on any success….

Had the most relaxing day today. Well, HOT and relaxing.

Went to the Farmer’s Market this morning. Sweated there on my bike and sweated there on the way back (a miracle, really, that my leg didn’t just suh-lide right off as I was pedaling home given the nearly cup-ful of sweat that had collected in my socket). Brought home about 30 lbs of produce for this week’s enjoyment (yum!).

Then sat on the backporch doing some schoolwork for an hour or two.

Now sitting on cozy chair in my room in my underwear, having just taken a nap in my skivvies given how freakin’ HOT its been today.

Okay, TMI perhaps. Getting clothes on now….

A prayer for you:

“Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth;
Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust;
Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace;
Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe”

Can you see my blue garden gate in the background??? 🙂

Moving Update: We are living in a sea of boxes and assorted disassembled furniture. We pick up the keys early tomorrow morning.

Who says moving takes a lot of time? (three cheers for the three day move and can someone please pass the bottle of ibuprofen….!)
