  Isn't Summer just Lovely? Since I was such a good girl with all that paperwork yesterday, and since there were no new jobs in print and media to apply for, I decided to give myself the day "off". After posting off my tax stuff, I took a wonderful long walk with Tobi in the mid-morning sun. The corn is high, the wheat is golden, and the "beaten path" is dry and dusty. Insects swirl about, bees are busily collecting pollen and the birds have ceased singing. What a wonderful time of year! Did a bit of puttering around the garden and porch before lunch, did a little here and a bit there. This afternoon I decided to take advantage of the sun - the wonderful tan I had six weeks ago has all but disappeared.
So, I got out my chaise lounge, fetched a margarita and put a Garth Brooks tape in the walkman. Didn't last but an hour in the sun though, as our temperatures are well in the 80s. Tonight, we are going to enjoy those eels we have been catching; we smoked them this afternoon. And maybe it will be a warm evening and we will be able to sit outside for ages - think it's time to get my harmonica out....
