The world becomes lighter with a drop in humidity

While some parts of Southern Ontario received rain last night and with it cooler temperatures not in our part of Bruce/Grey County the house was 29 C this morning at 4:00 am and the humidity did not drop until after 3:00 pm.

Hiding  in the house this morning, hunger eventually drove us out on the streets and into the heat.

And we always have breakfast out on Saturday mornings. The only consideration as to where we would eat was, they had to have air conditioning.

After having a lovely breakfast in cool temperatures, I was relaxed enough to walk back home and spend an hour or so in the garden. 

Paul went back to work on the Rpod Struts and completed the task.

Then I sent myself to my craft room to prepare the packages of paper for my fellow junk journaler’s tomorrow.  I am a treasure hunter by heart and my new art form means I am collecting again.  Sharing from my treasures helps me to destash and engage in a random act of kindness.

Our lupper was a lovely cold plate of homemade tuna salad and summer squash with hummus.  

I had an interesting exchange with my son-in-love where he used texting and pictures to walk me how to use my scanner.  He is such a patient man.  The end result is a paper product I can use in my Junk Journals instead of cutting up these beautiful old needle points , I’m very happy. 

The day began to cool around 4:00 with the drop in humidity and Paul moved outside to finish weeding the garden while I raced around the house opening windows.  

Don’t you hate when the inside of your home is warmer then the outside air on hot summer evenings when you need to sleep.

Once the windows were opened, I went back to the craft room where I packed up all of my supplies for tomorrow and made a YouTube Video.

Thank you for coming along.

How many men does it take to hang a shelf?

In our case it took one man to hold the shelf to the wall and two to find the studs to screw the shelf in too.

This evening was pure joy as friends of Alexander's dropped by the house to say hello just as they used to many years ago.  Alexander working with his father their good natured banter punctuating the much quieter conversations in the kitchen where I 

assisted Kelsey in creating a new curry instant pot recipe in the kitchen.

Laughter rang through a house full of the wonderful aromas of cooking

and best of all there was story telling and remembering things long since past.

This evening Kelsey got to know Alexander through the eyes of his friends and parents around a table full of great food, the table he grew up at.

Paul and I sent the young people off to visit yet more friends and family.  The house now quiet we spent a pleasant time together washing dishes and remembering the evening just past.  There is something magical about the warm silence that fills a home filled with love.

Now I sit in my pink rocking chair by the window as the sun sets thus it is that I began and ended my day in quiet reflection. 

Heaven will be made of just such times a these.

Myrtle Beach January 6, 2019

Above us a cloudless vibrant cerulean blue sky, 

the sea a picture of serenity as gentle waves build only as they encounter the rising shoreline.

In the unruffled water pelican's, seagulls and cormorants dive for their breakfast or  leisurely float on the surface of this calm, tranquil sea. 

We hope you enjoy today's offering of images from our day.

Gratitude Journal Flip Through

I am going to start by apologizing for the video quality at times.  If is 31C here and I think the camera over heated near the end.  Also I forgot to take the autofocus off.  This was my 4th video attempt and well I am running with it.

I hope you can still enjoy this flip through.
