Think your mom and sis shourd watch the tropics. Looks like the cruise may be a bit bumpy. Right now there is a tropical storm that may turn into a hurricane going towards Bermuda. If that’s the course, it will be there during their vacation. After last year I do not take anything for granted. They are nothing like the ones we see North.

Just read that one of your daughter’s is spending a week in Boston. Boston is our old stomping grounds and hubby and I usually bus it from the Cape. We love walking around and seeing the new sights and oh yes, the old. The trip is only an hour and a half from Hyannis and should be shorter, but, always bumper to bumper traffic. There is always so much to see and do. Love Faneuil Hall which is part of Quincy Market. On Saturdays, across from Quincy, you have what is called Haymarket Square. It’s an all outdoor market where you can purchase fresh veggies, fruit, etc. In the afternoon you have the hawkers selling their wares. Prices go downward. In my college days, I used to go on Saturdays to purchase fruit and veggies and bring it back to t he dorm. I had a fire escape right outside my window and that is where I kept all my delicious items. It’s a wonder that they stayed out there without a problem from wild animals or birds. Then there is the Esplanade which leads you to the Charles River and to the “Shell.” The Boston Pops used to have a weekly show during the summer and sometimes in t he fall. I always enjoyed the Boston Gardens, though never partook of the swan boat ride. Tell your daughter that there are many that stand on a box of sorts and yak away all day. Boston Harbor have many fine restaurants. The smell of the sea abounds the area and the food is fresh and awesome. Oh how I miss Boston.

I still do not have a normal A/C, though today is the first time I have seen it below 80 in over a week. The techs have not been back and hopefully, they will today. I hope they make it early because I will be leaving here as soon as possible to be with hubby. Hubby also has an eye doctor appointment this morning. The ophthalmologist is there once per month. I left the MV forms with the head nurse for the physician to complete. One day next week I will make an appointment with the Optical Outlets for new frames for both of us.

Love the new furniture. Now looking for a loveseat to go with it. Now I will be able to read outside not only on the lanai, but also near our front door. It will be good to have visitors dropping in and have places to sit and have a good chat.

I think I finally have decided on a Microwave. Will take a look at my number one choice today and have it delivered and installed next week.

Have a great day. Not sure about Trivia. Someone may have to start it. This all depends upon how soon everyone shows up and I can leave and make a stop at the Farmer’s Market.

Hello Sheba, I hope you are well.
Yesterday was so hot, walking outside felt like waking into an oven.
Today is somewhat cooler, humidity not so high.
I had a few more appointments, and Monday I have more.
We did get some rain, but it’s still very dry.
We put out some water, and some old fruits for the bunny and the Opossums.
Tonight I saw three baby Opossums and one baby bunny all eating together.

Take care Sheba 🌹

Sheba, hello and good evening. Congratulations on #20!
(i know the glitch did it but it’s still a nice accomplishment )
It’s great your daughter is in Boston. Not sure if this is the one who was in HI as well but it’s great to travel at their age. I never even thought to do so at a younger age as I was always working back then to pay rent and all those LA cost of living expenses. My son did have some adventures and really enjoyed his trip. I think he wants to plan another trip soon.

Glad your youngest is out and about and recovered from Covid!

Yes!

@shoelady60,

Peace Out Peeps keep safe and cool. ✨✨

@sheba2011

Thanks for the new thread. Hope #20 works well and a little longer.🤞

Went to Olive Garden with mom and sis for our pasta fix.🍝 Ate too much, could hardly make it up the stairs. They are driving to Baltimore Saturday, cruise leaves on Sunday.🛳 If all goes as planned, they will be back here next Saturday.

Hope you and twinkle toes are taking it easy and staying cool. That perfect vision of my step-child warms my heart.💗 Hugs and love.🤗💖

Have a slice it’s national Peach Pie Day and welcome to the new Conversation 20 Thread. ✨🌹😎

Co-Creating with Nature

To co-create, we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect.

Gardens offer us a perfect opportunity to reconnect to our true selves and remember our place in the natural world. Rather than approach our gardens as mere investments of energy, we can look at the entire process of gardening, from planting seeds to harvesting food, as a way of deepening our conscious relationship with the creative force of the universe. If we are willing to shift our intention from dominating, or at least directing nature, to co-creating with nature instead, we may discover a deep peace and renewed sense of wonder.

To co-create we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect. As you create your garden in partnership with nature, you can respect the earth, water, insects and animals by using organic seeds, soil and fertilizers. You can also communicate with the plants, insects and elements involved in your garden, and create a regular practice of stillness to listen for any messages they may have for you. When it comes time for harvesting fresh vegetables or picking beautiful blooms, you might even ask permission first. If you ask with an open heart, you will always receive an answer.

Imagine what it would be like to surrender certain aspects of your human world to the precision and surety of the natural environment. You might decide, for example, to forego your calendar and plant in rhythm with the cycles of the moon. Or, you might choose to ignore clock time and water your garden when the sun hits a certain position in the sky. By opening your garden experience to more of nature’s input, you can become available to witness a whole universe of miracles, while engendering a greater sense of honor between the two worlds.

When we recognize ourselves as allies, co-creators, with the earth and the natural world, our relationship to our environment begins to change. We no longer feel the need to control the circumstances around us and can relish in the perfection of all that is. AMEN! ✨✨

country. Taci our middle daughter went to Boston this morning she will be there

it comes to our four children. 😎✨

Let me know how things are going for you today.

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida and I hope all is well with you. 🌹✨😎

This is a new thread due to glitches somewhere in the universe. LOL!

Out daughter is back on her feet and I am so relieved about that we have told
her to mask up in the future when out in a large crowd. The Covid-19 Beast
is not gone.

Oz is in triple digits again. I hope it is cooler there in your part of Florida.
