Dinnertime on Saturday

Yesterday didn't pan out as I planned because the electricity went out just after I posted.  An electrical pole broke in half and part of our neighborhood was without power until around 7pm.  Thankfully Friday was reasonable outside, in terms of weather.  Oldest son said it only got to 85F. before figuring in the heat index.  With a nice breeze, the house was fine.  Well, until about 5pm when the sun began to bake the roof. 

On the plus side, with the house not being electrified, that subtle hum was absent.  I do love silence. 

All said, we lived. :)

And today has been nice.  Oldest daughter and I got to spend some time together, but the heat today put paid to being out too awfully long.  Gracious me, the South is a scorcher this summer and we've just begun.  But anyway, not to fuss too much---I had a rest this afternoon and you know how sometimes a tiny nap is 'just enough' and you come away feeling all smooth and refreshed?  That just happened.  And if the little girls will avoid asking too many questions or being overly needy, then maybe this mood will last.  We'll see about that, won't we?

Now off to eat navy bean soup and some cornbread, fresh from the oven.  Yum!
