...6.17...Over the Weekend...

...it was a nice quiet weekend...we celebrated Father's Day with a late Sunday lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant...if we wait until about 2 pm the crowds have disapated...
...I did the weekly shopping...and I went to Trader Joes...
...I boiled my dishcloths...it keeps them semi-white...haha...and they're not as prone to get stinky...it reminds me of Nanny...who told me one time that you should always scald your dishcloth before you hang it up to dry between uses...so I scald mine really well...
...I baked a banana bread...and even though I had the walnuts sitting on the counter to add to the dough...I somehow forgot to do that...so we have bread with no nuts...
...I had my first fresh peach of the season...YUM!
...and we had gotten some rather wilty organic lettuce...so I dunked it into a bowl of cold water for a few hours...and it miraculously revived...
...and now these pretty soft southern sky photos are from an evening walk over the weekend...in the neighborhood behind ours...it's a nice quiet little enclave of mostly brick row houses...very similar in style...do you see the kitty on top of this roof...I initially thought it was the stray that one of our neighbors feeds every day...
...but it was not...as we walked further into the neighborhood...we saw the stray...he's skittish...but not too much...kind of like Callie at the parsonage...whome we hear is doing just fine...
...it was such a lovely evening...after such a hot day...the actual temperature was 96° F (36° C)...but the heat index was 103° F (39° C)...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
