Cool Before the Heat Returns

Today was a much better temperature wise as it was only in the low eighties although this weekend it is going to be back up in the mid nineties. I was just getting use to the hot temperatures when we have a couple cooler days and then the furnace gets turned up once again.

This morning after breakfast, coffee and reading the paper I took another walk and just like yesterday my hip started hurting about half way through my walk. I am not sure what I can do about it because everything that I have tried has not worked. I either walk with pain or I do not get any exercise.

Like yesterday when I got back I went out to the back yard and dead-headed the roses in the rose garden. I also cut a couple dozen red and white stripped roses for the house and took them inside and put the in the vase. I also edged and weeded along the rose garden and berry garden and when I finished that I went into the house, cleaned up and rested on the couch; read here fell asleep.

It got to be a little after 1300 so I went into the kitchen and made myself a salad with baby spinach, arugula, yellow and orange peppers, radishes and crumbled up some Trader Joe's sun-dried tomato and habanero tortillas. I topped it off with red wine vinegar and raspberry dressing.

Kathleen had her weekly meeting with the woman from church and left around 1330 so I matched up our cash register receipts with the credit card bill and then paid the bills and reconciled my credit union checking and savings accounts.

Kathleen stopped off at a couple stores after her meeting and did not get home until after 1800. After resting for a while she made some spaghetti with some kielbasa, not as good as hot Italian sausage but when you do not have the sausage it will do.
