FOR TODAY, July 22nd, 2025
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ...
Some kind of lilies and clover. I do not know what the proper name of these lilies is, but they come back every year. Nice and bright. The grass is brown. We have had little to no rain to speak of. It's been a very dry summer this year. All is quiet on the street. It's garbage day and it is not raining or windy. Unusual.
I AM THINKING ...
I went to the hospital yesterday and got fitted with the heart monitor. I was thinking it was going to be very intrusive, but it actually isn't. Its just a small thing, about the size of a pager with three wired connected to stickers on my chest. I had thought it would keep me from sleeping, etc. but it hasn't done. I need to keep it on until this afternoon and then have it back to the hospital for 3 pm.
I AM ALSO THINKING ...
Someone is keeping me very close company this morning. He is right next to me under the desk. I am not sure what that is all about. Its very curious. He is obviously looking for something, but I am not sure what. Knowing him, it is food related in some way. He is always looking for a snack.
IN THE KITCHEN ...
Cookies & Cream Fruit Dessert. A ten-minute wonder. Four simple ingredients, not counting the cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. No fuss, no muss, no turning on of the oven required.
ON MY "TO COOK" LIST ...
This Sherbet Punch looks deliciously refreshing. From Recipes My Mom Gave Me.
THIS I KNOW TO BE TRUE ...
Time has taught me this lesson.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." ~Matthew 6:34
Let worry take care of itself. Worry about things never changed them.
SOMETHING THAT IS NICE ...
Fresh runner beans. I love them. We are coming into bean season now.
SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS NICE ...
Fresh rosemary. It smells heavenly. Cindy gave me some at the weekend. In the U.K. it grows pretty much wild all year long. You can find it in people's hedges, etc.
I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE ...
A simple Tea Cozy.
A pretty pillowcase . . .
A simple snowman . . .
Fancy wash cloths . . .
A pretty triangle scarf. Love this.
Wish I had more time . . .
SOMETHING THAT I ENJOY ...
Journaling. Saving things which speak to my heart. Stickers, etc.
SOMETHING ELSE THAT I ENJOY ...
Kicking off my slippers and crawling into bed at the end of the day.
ON MY GOODNESS ...
Could you be any more relaxed? Cue.
SOMETHING TO READ ...
FOUND, by Erin Kinsley
When 11 year old Evan vanishes without trace, his parents are plunged into their worst nightmare.
Especially as the police, under massive pressure, have no answers.
But months later Evan is unexpectedly found, frightened and refusing to speak. His loving family realise life will never be the same again.
DI Naylor knows that unless those who took Evan are caught, other children are in danger. And with Evan silent, she must race against time to find those responsible...
This is a definite page turner. I am quite obsessed.
THINGS THAT CATCH MY FANCY ...
Flowers, lace and quilts . . .
Tiny bouquets . . .
Butterflies . . .
A cottage with gingerbread trim and a stone pathway. Look at that upper window. Sigh . . .
Open shelves . . . light . . . white . . . wooden countertops . . .
I AM GRATEFUL FOR ....
Today. Just today. Each day is a gift.
SOMETHING TO WATCH ...
Sunday Best on Netflix. The Ed Sullivan Show was a must watch all the years I was growing up.
A THOUGHT TO CARRY WITH YOU ...

And I do too!
Thanks for the book and show recs! So many cute things here..Glad the monitor wasn't too bad..Take care.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at how small the heart monitors are and how lightweight. I remember having to wear one in a “bag” hanging around my neck. It was pretty uncomfortable. Hope you get good results from the data. Enjoy your day. We’re off to have Larry’s cataract surgery. Love and hugs, Elaine
ReplyDeleteLooks like a type of asiatic lily, grown from bulb (which was probably planted by a previous occupier of your home) That is a cute snowman made of felt and the shawl is very pretty. Not sure I need another shawl though. That is good you were able to sleep with the heart monitor on, hopefully it doesn't take them long to get the results. Ah yes, Sunday nights and Ed Sullivan! That was where I first saw the Beatle perform. I hunted for that book and series you mentioned awhile ago (Tales of a Country Bobby) but it isn't at our library or on the ebook system, and I couldn't find it on Prime Reading. Will keep looking. Much nicer for sleeping overnight, and bright and sunny this morning. Happy Tuesday.
