Begonias on the porch, among other matters

I decided to set absolutely no goals today other than my daily walk and an early morning trip to the county dump. I know, it sounds like a blasty blast, doesn’t it?

The early morning errand took a lot longer than I thought it would, due to a lengthy detour made by my husband on the way home. But we stopped at a Starbucks where I bought a Caffe Americano so I was happy.

I would have been happier with a caramel macchiato, but I’m trying to watch my figure.

After my walk, I watered the container plants and then took these photos of the little begonias on the back porch.

The pictures you see here have had very little done to them other than slight adjustments and a watermark I’m fooling around with.

I love these little squiggles on this one. And I see a bug above them (in the V).

It’s gray skies in Maryland today but the temperature is very pleasant.

The week I’ve just had was super busy with the end-of-year activities at our school. We have two separate awards assemblies and had the first one Thursday evening. It was wicked hot, too. Graduation is next Sunday and to say that these last three weeks are busy ones for all of us at school is an understatement.

So today I will do whatever I want. And I surely don’t wanna clean.

This week, a new pair of hiking shoes came in the mail for me and my husband also bought me my own hiking poles. Now I don’t have to borrow his anymore.

I’m getting ready for doing some walking in Maine when we go this summer.

Today’s lunch at the manor house was tuna salad with fresh lettuce from my husband’s garden accompanied by a handful of freshly-picked snap peas.

Please disregard those potato chips you see in the background. I have no idea how they got onto the plate. (They are low-fat, though).

Loved hearing all your weekend plans in the prior post. I’ll be thinking of you.

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .
