Well, last week our temps were reasonable and I looked  so forward to a respite from the heat, but due to the hurricane, the humidity was so bad, the cooler temps meant nothing. So indeed we had no respite except for one day, and that was Saturday. I planned on enjoying the birds at the feeders so hubs loaded everything up and I got my journal ready to document nature, but the humming birds were the only birds to partake. In fact, we didn’t even hear a birdsong the whole of Saturday.  But, thankfully, some birds did  enjoy the feeder today.

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥ 
 
It is cool this morning so we are heading out to do some marketing  for the cookout we’ve been invited to this evening. Because the hostess and I are dieting, I am making a luscious tossed salad which will include strawberries, blueberries, and toasted pecans.

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥ 

I am working on this post on my tablet as I am actually lying in bed preparing to watch a bit of tv soon. Hubs is watching a race downstairs .  I’m in bed because the a/c made it so cool up here, I needed to get under the covers!

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 

The last couple of days have been a bit of a struggle. It seems the enemy of our souls has been busy trying to tear down  and destroy  a prayer group without whom I used to meet with until covid brought it down. We just recently decided to reinitiate it,  but we cannot seem to make things work. It is sad to me that we who were as close as sisters for a decade of meeting to pray and fellowship, have changed so much over the past couple of years and can not come to agreement about the simplest things. It is very distressing!

♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥ 

All I can say is I will be really happy when this unusual heat wave  will dissipate and fall finally arrives!

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥ ♥
 

My usual , whatI call my simple breakfast.   Greek yogurt mixed with whatever fruit I have on hand. This week it is pears, topped with crumbled walnuts.

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥

Outdoor cookout.. my fruit / veggie salad , mainly

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥ 

I found my brown shirts I have n’t worn in a few years which match one of my J Jill shirts.  Just right for this very hot day.

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥

Chapters from 1 Samuel,  1Corinthians, Jeremiah, Psalms

♥♥On my TV this week ♥
I always look forward to When Calls the Heart, home and cooking shows, and YouTube videos.

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥ 

Things are looking  fine, except for a bit of dusting and some swiffer mopping in the tiled areas.  Hopefully, we can get my clothes laundered.  I cannot carry the basket down anymore. Steps are not my forte, so I’m depending on Hubs to help in this area.
