It feels like it’s been a long time since I posted and, for some reason, the thought of doing to has been a bit overwhelming.\u00c2\u00a0 To break myself back in, here are some random thoughts<\/em> that have occupied my mind since I last posted.<\/p>\n

\"DelphiniumWas thrilled with the $5 delphinium bouquet<\/em> I picked up at the local farmers market Friday.<\/p>\n

Yes, $5.00<\/em><\/p>\n

I think I’ll drop by every Friday<\/em> and pick up a fresh bouquet of flowers.<\/p>\n

I get grumpy when I’m too warm.\u00c2\u00a0 Anything over 80 degrees is too warm.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m glad I have access to a pool <\/em>when it gets over 80 degrees.\u00c2\u00a0 I love swimming – or at least exercising in swimming pools.\u00c2\u00a0 And preferably the water won’t be ice cold next time!<\/p>\n

Unlike most people in Seattle, I was happy when the heat wave passed<\/em> and cooler days returned.\u00c2\u00a0 I spent much of yesterday planting in my garden (a garden post coming soon).<\/p>\n

\"HummingbirdHummingbirds make me happy<\/em>. Don’t have a pic of them, but here’s where they comes to dine every day.\u00c2\u00a0 Last night one came by while I was sitting on the patio, and he hovered down at eye level and looked straight at me for several seconds. \u00c2\u00a0 I love him.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, snails, slugs, spiders and\u00c2\u00a0 mosquitoes – still not a fan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also not a fan of the California Supreme Court’s decision to uphold mean-spirited Prop 8<\/em>. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Also still not a fan of Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney.<\/p>\n

Still happy that Obama won <\/em>the election and am pleased with how he is engaging internationally.<\/p>\n

\"hphbp.jpg\"I’m eagerly awaiting the release of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince <\/em>movie!<\/p>\n

I think I’ll go see the new Star Trek<\/em> film this afternoon. Have you seen it?<\/p>\n

While I’m gone, please share a few of your random thoughts<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
