It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Be honest, you have a song going through your head, right?  You have an image to go with it that looks like this?

Yup, this song will haunt you for the rest of the day now.  Sorry....................not sorry. LOL

I spent some time outside this morning on my front porch.  It is a gorgeous day here with the temp about 75 and a lovely little breeze.  

 Why not make good use of my time while outside.  Hubby's socks are not going to get completed by sitting in the house, buried in a project bag.  I had him try them on yesterday and they are not too tight, so now is the time to work on them and get them completed.

I sit in the shade while outside.  Otherwise, I would only be able to sit there for about 10 minutes before my skin would turn a reddish shade.  Our UV index is already pretty high.  I so wanted to just enjoy some outside time though.

Look at that crystal blue sky.  Not a cloud anywhere to be seen.  They are predicting rain starting sometime tomorrow with a big temperature drop.  I am not holding my breath.  If it does rain, that will take my outside time away.  

I think my neighbor needs to get his palm tree cleaned up.  Those dead fronds will be all over the street if we get a big wind.  They can really do some damage to tires too, if you run over them just right in the car or on a bike.

I did see other people out today.

I have no idea what my other neighbor was having done in her yard but they started early this morning and were just finishing up about noon.  This guy was one of her workers.

I sure wish there was someone sitting in the rocker next to me.  Hubby is not able to be outside much.  His allergies are so nasty right now, if you didn't know he had allergies, you might think he had the 'virus'.  (and he takes allergy injections!)  Nope, it would be so nice to have another knitter sitting there next to me, chatting away the morning.  Sharing the sunshine and lovely breeze.  

One thing I did see today but was not able to grab a photo of.....................our next door neighbors were out for a little stroll and I noticed the lady is pregnant!  I am so excited for them.  They have only been in the neighborhood for about a year.  This is the first home they have owned too.  They are a very lovely couple and I couldn't be happier to find out there will be children in the area again.  

I found a recipe today that really sparked my interest.  What do you think?

Doesn't it sound yummy?  It even sounds a little healthy.  Did you notice it uses milk?  This would help out the dairy farmers, right?

I did my part in helping dairy farmers today.  I make 4 days worth of overnight oats.  Those use milk and yogurt.  Doing my part to keep someone in business.

Time for lunch.  Today I will help the dairy farmers again my eating cottage cheese for lunch.

Until next time.............happy crafting & stay well!
