Hello all! Taking advantage of a quiet Sunday morning to chime in. The historical event that I am a part of will be taking place next weekend. So, between prepping for that and working this week, I will probably be MIA until the 12th of this month. This past week, I have been watering our lawn each morning. (Hasn't rained in over two weeks). We don't have underground sprinkling, so it is me, moving a sprinkler, about 12 times at 15 minute intervals. It has been in the 80s/90s the past week, so even with the watering, our yard and plants are still a bit scorched. Of course, the next forecast for rain is this upcoming weekend (our historic event). 80s and rain.
Oh well, if you ask me, 90s and sun is much worse than 80s and rain. I have to wear period correct clothing. (Long skirts, muslin longer sleeved shirt, bodice, apron, hat)
Pip- Yikes! I wonder if he was in rut? The deer around here get a bit aggressive during rutting season/spring. Glad someone was able to step up and save you and the pups.
Debbie- Glad to hear about Destiny's numbers rising! Sorry about the cancellation of the triplet's party.
Machka- Love to see how you get your exercise in each day!
Heather- DYS and I went to the VanGogh exhibit when it hit our state. It was a 2.5 hour drive for us and we ran into that tornado on our way back. Fun exhibit though.
Rebecca- Happy to hear about your son! What a relief, huh?
Flea- What a fun concert! Kudos for your hubby! Nice surprise!
Annie- (((Hugs))) to you. Sorry to hear of your Aunt's passing. I hope your sister can come and help get your dad to the funeral/stay with your mom. The logistics of emergencies are exhausting!
Allie Loving the pics of Myles being Myles! Big hugs to you and your family as you all find peace. Finding care for both of the kids.
Barbie- This might be the first I have commented in June; so thank you for bringing us to this month! You have made my gratitude journal more than once, simply for pushing me to focus on gratitude daily! One of my favorite quotes or semi quotes is...focus on the little things; it's all little things. My daily gratitudes seem to be the little things. Some days the most I can come up with is the simple fact that I had one less poopy diaper to change. lol
Well, there are more of you that I want to chat with; but everything has left my brain as I have had to get up a few times, move the sprinkler, answer questions from DH who has woken early (and grumpy)...it is what it is. Catch up with everyone next week. I will try to read a bit every morning. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Poor yogi, he hurt his paw somehow, not broken but he won’t be walking today. I will stay behind with him and Lucy while hubby takes chispas out to the canyon. Limping pretty bad but he can still hop on the bed and that’s a good thing10 -

Rebecca - congrats to your son.
Joy - Lucy landed in a good spot with you.
Pip - hope your pups are feeling better soon.
I am proud of myself. After driving for 40 years in SD where the population of the entire state is less than many cities I hate driving in large metropolitan areas with all the traffic. It makes me very anxious. But yesterday I drove my DD to the Sea-Tac airport and got myself home in one piece. The fact that it was at 4:00 am helped a lot. LOL
Everyone take care, Sue in WA10 -

Chocolate decadence tray. Made two. They have Chocolate covered strawberries and cherries, brownies,almond and peanut clusters,chocolate peanut butter balls, rocky road fudge and chocolate coconut balls
Blueberry tarts with cinnamon vanilla sweet ricotta filling
Mango cake with mango flavored sweet ricotta filling

We're back home. It was a quick but wonderful weekend. We even stopped by my favorite vodka distillery, had a couple small samples, and bought some vodka -- ginger infused and hazelnut espresso infused. So delicious!
Annie -- I'm sorry for the death of your aunt. I hope you can work out the logistics to everyone's benefit.
Sue -- Driving to Sea-Tac is no small feat. I really hate driving in the Seattle/Tacoma area. My mother hated it so much, that she would fly in and out of Portland, preferring to drive down from the Peninsula to Portland, rather than crossing the narrows bridge to Sea-Tac.
Love to all, and thanks to Barbie for keeping us going each month.
