It hit 100 in the valley but “only” 95 on the mountain.

Date August 12, 2007

I was in bed before 10:30 and woke fairly early. I saw my neighbor beside her work van so I went out to say good morning. We talked for a little while. She was on her way to pick corn and tomatoes. The wintertime cool room is now the warm room. I took some of [...]

I have sounds!

Date August 12, 2007

On dialup, it took a couple or three minutes to load. The noise caught Twinkle’s attention! I’m going to make a page of sounds that I hear around my neck of the woods (literally). Katydids Cicadas

It’s been a pleasant Sabbath.

Date August 11, 2007

My fan started making a funny noise last night so I guess I’ll take it back for a refund. I had to turn it off but that’s okay. I’ve lived without it for all these years and I’ll be able to get something better, probably, and, probably, for less somewhere else. I bought it locally [...]

A bit of moderation in the heat today. “Only” 98 for the high.

Date August 10, 2007

I had the a/c running most of the night last night and I didn’t sleep very well. I’d gone to bed by 11 but it was well past 12 before I nodded off. The fan was blowing on me at the lowest setting. I finally got up and turned it so it would be blowing [...]

Another triple digit day! 100 degrees in the shade…

Date August 9, 2007

This isn’t going to be long. I’ve spent too much time doing other things. I got up and did most of my exercises but ended up jumping from the LSEs to an 83 second pushup. Will have to see how tomorrow goes. 100% Raw Food Breakfast 18 ozzies grapefruit juice 1 quart banana/mango/romaine smoothie Lunch [...]

Talk about hot! Today hit 101 degrees!

Date August 8, 2007

That was in the valley where I spend most of my time. Here at home, I have no idea how hot it got. The thermometer says the maximum was 94.6 but it’s in the sun part of the time. This morning was vision therapy. I didn’t have any problem seeing what I was looking at. [...]

There was a fatality yesterday and a resurrection today.

Date August 7, 2007

I was getting some things out of the other fridge yesterday afternoon when I knocked the remote thermometer on the concrete floor. It landed flat and hard. When I picked it up, the display was blank. I shook it and nothing. It was dead as a doornail. I brought it in and, this morning, I [...]

At least one person reads my blog.

Date August 6, 2007

I had an e-mail from my sister saying there was no post for yesterday. She was a little alarmed thinking something might have happened to me. I’d saved it but not published so it wasn’t visible. I went back and published it with yesterday’s date. Thanks, ds! I didn’t sleep too well last night. It [...]

I won’t spend a lot of time on this.

Date August 5, 2007

Not a terrible lot to report, anyway. I woke at not much before 9. Got up and exercised, including a 106 second pushup. One of the fellows on the forum thought I was doing 100+ pushups. No. I haven’t progressed that far yet. I’m a wimpy 63 year old woman. I used to lift weights [...]

It actually was Sabbath today. And I broke raw.

Date August 4, 2007

I woke at 7:30 and stayed in bed for another 15 minutes because I could. 100% Raw Food Breakfast 52 ozzies OJ/peach blend Lunch 3 quarts watermelon 36 ozzies banana/mango/spinach smoothie Supper Marinated cucumber and onion Too much salad of romaine/red leaf with cucumber and three different kinds of tomato dressed with cashew dressing.
