Daze In The Valley

The Scoop

I’ve spent the last week at our place in the valley. I was looking for warmer temperatures and boy did I find them. It’s been in the low 100s for highs. But the nights cool way down into the 60s so I am able to get up and do my runs without over heating.

I am now in my 6th week of running every other day and am up to 2.5 miles. Next week I think I hit the 3 mile mark which is my goal. Can I tell you running makes me feel so happy? I look forward to getting up and heading out the door. In case you missed it I had been out of running commission for a long time due to an injury.

I didn’t start running regularly until I was around 46 years old and now here I am, 60 and still going. I am so grateful!

Projects

I love to work on little projects and have been wanting to paint our front door for months. I have just been too busy to get to it. Until this week! I finally got it done. It was fun and I love the results. I still have a little touching up to do but I love to sit out on our bench and sip my coffee and holler hello to the neighbors.

Don’t roll your eyes but I am itching to get out my fall decor. Do they have medication for that?

Veggie Sandwich

I’ve told you all that we try to eat mostly plant based and a veggie sandwich is a favorite lunch for us.

This is a baguette with chopped spinach mixed with a little blue cheese dressing and pesto . I layered tomato, cucumber and Parmesan. This is summer in every bite!

Husband Love

This is one of things I love about my husband. He is a research scientist and he reads all the time. We have books stacked all over the house and he reads every minute he is sitting. This is on his bed stand. He will be reading several books at the same time and doesn’t even use book marks because he remembers what page he is on in each book. He has had this book for decades and is reading it again.

My Heart Stella

Stella had to have dental surgery this week and I was so stressed that day. But she did amazing and hardly skipped a beat.

No Words

Peace and thanks for stopping by!
