This has been a record-setting summer for heat, and worst drought in DECADES. I realized this week, that my plans of taking lots of walks throughout the days was stopped dead in the tracks - as it was normally too hot and humid to even go outside after 9am.
But today we got a break. Temps in the upper 70s, normal humidity, and a nice breeze. A perfect summer day. So I enjoyed the morning on the deck with my coffee and book, took a nice walk with my buddy C, and then worked in the garden a bit. Felt GREAT to be out doors and ACTIVE.
Additionally - stopped by the farmer's market, as well as picked from my own gardens - so my kitchen is LOADED with good veggies. Had fresh beets for lunch - and have eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, and cukes for tonight.
So the kitchen is stocked with good foods, and I'm being active. It's GOOD to be in charge of your decisions in life!
Time to go to a friends - and I think I'll walk. Get another 20 minutes in each way. I'll have well over an hour in today. And it feels GREAT.
