The day is nearly done...and it turned out to be a pretty good one.

After I had my little hissy fit on loneliness, I went into the kitchen and made a chocolate cheesecake...my favorite. I tucked that away in the fridge to set for a few hours and went outside.

It was a beautiful day...hot, but not humid. My daughter and I transferred a rather large vine from the side of the front porch to a space further down on the lawn. The thing grows and grows and grows, so it got to a point where it was eating the porch swing...that was the reasoning behind the move.

The lawn got mowed, the swimming pool got set up and filled.
I checked my flower containers to be sure they were all doing okay. I was sooooo surprised at the sunflowers, seems like overnight they grew 6 inches!

I came back in the house sporadically...did a little knitting, watched an old war movie and put together a fresh, crisp tossed salad.

Happily, two of the out of towners called me and that brightened my day considerably. I would have preferred to see them in person so I could give em a big hug, but a phone call did nicely.

I guess it just goes to show, if you just get on with the business of living, things will always work out. I think maybe I get in my own way too often.

I just let the dogs out for their evening piddle and thought I'd pee MY pants...there, sitting in the middle of their water dish was a great big ol frog...he just sat there for a moment looking as surprised as I was. A couple of hearty barks from Cash and he was outta sight. Pretty funny I thought...guess you hadda be there,:)

Life IS good.

BTW - the cheesecake was delish!
