Me On Monday - August 24th

Firstly a big Monday morning wave to Sian at http://fromhighinthesky.blogspot.ca/



Niagara, Ontario Peaches

 Ontario Peaches! / Nothing says summer like fresh Niagara (Ontario) peaches - delicous, 12 gone in no time / enjoing fresh Van Tol sweet corn on the cob / feasting on fresh tomatoes that I grew myself / taking lots of photos of daily life for Week In The Life / a major vacuum and dusting session of the home / excitement over planned Thursday visit of Midland BFF / disappointment in great quantities over cancellation of visit from BBF /  scrapping time / created two, 2 page layouts of photos from 2013, they were waiting for the perfect layout inspiration at least that is what I tell myself the delay was about / an earlier in the week massage – aahh / a door to door visit from one of the federal election candidates – please it’s dinner time / laundry / more laundry / sorting through excess of school supplies, donating most / confirming I really don't like Feta /enjoying the scent from the Plantain  Lilies (Hosta) growing close to the patio / telephone chats with Alberta BFF,  distance makes no difference in our chats / walking on treadmill while watching BBC’s Bleak House with Gillian Anderson, 2 episodes at a time =  an hour walking / leave & twig yard pick up after rain&thunder&lightening&wind storm twice in one week / Mr. Man trimming the Yews & mowing the lawns / Saturday sales call; considering a new gas furnace and central air conditioning / they don't even blink an eye when they drop that price /  Canadian dollar really sucks right now / picking up but yet to read September issue of Weight Watchers, I know it’s time to get back on board with THE plan /

    1. I am going through about 4 a day - I even grill them on the BBq with some cinnamon.

  2. I don't really like feta either. We were just talking about that here the other day. I did really like that Bleak House, though. It was fantastic.

    I hope you can rearrange your visit soon! Have a good week.

    1. Seems that this might be the week for the rearranged visit. My only complaint about Bleak House - it's so dark all the time.

  4. Feta is ok as long as it doesn't taste too goaty! Pass me a peach though. They look delicious!

    1. I am enjoying the peaches and thankful that we have an abundance in sources. Umm maybe I need to try a less strong Feta.

    1. Thanks Karen. This time of year with all the fresh fruit it makes it easy to follow the diet :)

  6. With all that lovely fresh fruit and vegetables you have locally, the diet should be a breeze! Hope that by the time we see next week's Me on Monday the BFF visit will have been rearranged.

  8. What a beautiful basket of peaches ... and so sorry you had disappointment in your week like that. Hoping things are perking up, and any moves on the WW front are successful and energising. The way you've written really gives a flavour of your days :).
