One Strawberry

Quite hot and humid out there this morning.  The temperature was 75 and the humidity was somewhere in the 90's and as you can imagine I was soaked by the time I got home.  Still it is great to be able to be out early in the morning and walking AND I do come home to a nice cool air conditioned house and a nice big glass of cold water : ) .
It had rained last night and looked like it would again but it never did while I was walking, though it would have been welcomed.
I walked around the lake and there were quite a few other people there as well.  Saw a few deer, the usual rabbits and that is about it.
My friend Lin is back in town and she called so we talked and walked 'together' for about 2 miles.
I walked 6.4 miles.

A while ago I mentioned that a coworker of Ken's brought in some strawberry plants and gave them away.  We got three plants and I planted them in a pot on the deck.  One plant died right away, one looked as if it was about to die and one looked so so.  Well I am happy to say that the two plants have survived and one plant produced one strawberry which I picked and ate yesterday.  I shared it with Ken.  It was only one and we only had a taste but what a taste it was.  So sweet, it was like candy. : )  Of course it deserved a picture. 

The first strawberry.

Ken holds it in the palm of his hand.

Maybe next year there will be lots of strawberries for us.

This morning I made a three bean salad which will be part of supper tonight and also made a loaf of bread.  It smelled so good that when it was done I cut two pieces and had them for lunch with butter and raspberry jam on them.  Yummy!

The rest of the afternoon I'll be doing a little cleaning, ironing and then reading some more of my book.

Hope you're having a great Monday.
Happyone

We have a choice every day regarding

the attitude we will embrace for that day.
