the mornings have been cool which is a balm to new yorkers, but greg just said that starting tomorrow we will have a heat advisory again, from 11 am to 8 pm.
i composted these flowers on saturday when they had succumbed to time.
i'm feeling very tired this morning. i have too many worries. i think too many people have too many worries.
i'm working on my florida posts. greg and i had a fun time but were happy to be back in the city again. i love that feeling when one's home feels new and unexplored after a visit away.
i'll put in links to the posts as they pop out.
here's the trip south, and here's monday . . and tuesday, and wednesday's morning swim and family visit.
Welcome back home! The weather has been crazy, kind of tropical and so much rain! We have so many slugs, they stick to your feet when you do not watch out. I think we all have many worries, it feels so exhausting! Where did the carefree summers go, the carefree times? I feel very old sometimes. Our pastor handed out this quote from Teresa of Avila:
ReplyDeleteLet nothing disturb you;
let nothing frighten you,
all things pass away.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
The one who has God
lacks nothing.
God alone suffices.
We are trying to get Jonathan and Veronika ready for their summer projects. Everything is quite hectic around here, but I will take a look at your Florida vacation!
Yes, it is nice to rediscover one's home :).
I still have some posts to finish . . thank you for the quote! It's very good. I think we feel tired of all the drama the older we get. Good luck with preparations for the children's projects, and I hope you have some time to relax and read a fun book for yourself :)
DeleteOnce you fall behind, it is hard to go back and keep up, at least that is my experience. Yes, we do feel tired and I think it is because we see more clearly what is truly important in life and what is not. Right now, I don't have much time for relaxing reading because Peter is preparing for another mandatory trip. This summer seems to make up for last summer.
DeleteYes, all of a sudden we are busy again! It has its good points and bad points. I hope you get some cooler weather to finish your planning.
DeleteToday, we had an air quality warning caused by the fires out West! It has been very muggy today, but I have started typing Flora's IHIP.
DeleteI walked around today constantly amazed at how hazy it was and didn't connect it with the fires until this evening when Greg mentioned it. Good luck with the IHIP!
DeleteDid not we have the same think happening last year or the year before? I think the wildfires caused the same bad air. Thanks for the good luck wishes. In previous years, I copied a lot from IHIPs I had written for Jonathan and Charlotte, but I cannot do that for Flora because I am using so many different things for her.
DeleteYes, I can see that it's a little extra work for Flora's IHIP. How wonderful that the resources are helping her :)
DeleteYes, I am trying to add more and more independent work.
