Another beautiful day.
Could it be that this is our summer??? It is Michigan.....
I slept well again this morning, thank you God. I was just going out for a run when I answered the phone. So I went out after that.
Whew--getting hot.
Breakfast, shower.
I spent most of the afternoon outdoors. I read for a while, and watched the birds. All 4 robin eggs have hatched. Another smaller bird pair is still creating their nest in the birdhouse. I got the hose out and watered the plants, washed out the bird bath, and put the hose away. Just about as soon as I was away from the bath, the birds were coming up to drink. They're hot, too.
Did a load of laundry, putting it outdoors to finish drying. Love that smell....
I had a hankerin' for chicken noodle soup--so I made a pot. Ohmygosh, it turned out really good. It's portioned out and packaged and labeled; so nice to pull from the freezer.
I also did a little trimming with the string trimmer.
I've gotten everything together, I think, to go north on Wednesday.
Monday and Tuesday are workdays.
I'm ready for another shower and off to bed.
Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Marching right along, through the month, next comes summer....
I finally slept well this morning. I was surprised to see the time was 0848!
Sunshine and birdsong. I got up and went outdoors for a few minutes before having breakfast. So Beautiful!
This morning when I looked into the robin's nest, there were 2 hatched! Surprising, though, that I didn't find any shells. Not on the ground, or caught up in the branches. This evening, a third has hatched, and the first two are fluffed out, moving their heads around better, raising up their beaks wide open! So cool!
I went out and spent some time at an "event" that Frank was at with his girlfriend and her parents. They had a table, selling their wares. Interesting stuff.
Back at home I prepared food, started laundry, and sat outdoors for a bit.
A quiet evening, collecting items to take to the cottage this week.
Tomorrow is another sunny day.

Worked today.
Steady busy. I was able to have lunch, about 11:30. Somewhere around 5pm, I was 2 hours behind. Ugh.
Everyone was busy. Staying on task, one call light, one pain medicine, one phone call; one new patient, another patient arriving; one visitor request; 2 waters, one more trip down the hall. One at a time.
We continued on; the next shift came in and got report. As we were each continuing to pick away, we had to update them. And I only had a couple things to pass on that I hadn't been able to do. "That's why there's a next shift...." I know. What a challenge to do your best, and hand over the remainders of the work day.
They were very gracious. I tell you, I have the greatest co-workers EVER.
I clocked out on time, surprisingly, but stayed to pick up personal loose ends.
Stopping on the way home for an errand, I watered the plants, checked on the robins. It looks like two of the 4 eggs have peck holes in them, like they are starting to hatch?? Awesome!
The hummingbirds are feeding, the bird bath needed more water (they sure get to splashing...), the new plants are watered.
A quiet rest of the evening, and I'm ready for bed.
Tomorrow has a few ideas....

Another great day!!!
Woke to birdsong and sunshine.....
Breakfast, book keeping, errands.
Bought a few vincas and put them in.
Cleaned up, supper, and off to a meeting that turned out to be very brief. OK by me.
Back at home, I sat outside and watched the birds. Amazing little creatures with interesting behaviors. And a robin splashing around in the bird bath!! So fun!!
Alas, the mosquitoes chased me in. I'll sure miss my Bug Free Zone. Will have to find a solution....
Tomorrow is a workday.

What a great day today!!
Enjoyed being in my "sleeping room" with the windows open. I think I'll be more comfortable in there.
Had a good meeting this morning; when I got back home it was clear skies and 75 degrees. I decided to go out for a run.
What a difference--Sunday was bundled up and sleet, today was shorts and tank top. Geesh.
After a shower and a bite for lunch, I went outside and sat in the dappled sunlight, and read. *sigh* It was so beautiful with a light wind blowing the fragrance of lilacs. I was out for a maybe 3 hours. Lovely.
Supper and a quiet evening.
Late afternoon meeting tomorrow.
