Today's Bullet Points...
*Coffee - missed photo op of steam coming from 50 year old 6-cup shiny electric coffee pot
*# of watched minutes of Tour de France to Commercials: 15 to 45
*Check backyard temp - 88 degrees - nice
*Iron 5.5 yards of fabric
*Cut a quilt
*No photo, again - I'll just have to "feeeL" the pinks and browns
*Overheat
*Pool time
*Fancy bagel with cream cheese - Nana just loves "fancy" bagels
*More coffee, during pool time
*Save stinging little yellow jackets from drowning
*Caffeine kicked in - head to garden
*Cut blue hydrangeas for outside display (Note added many hours later: just ran outside for photos, better late than never, economically grabbed a few extra shots of purple flowers, and pink flowers, and an orange one)
*Dodge stinging little yellow jackets - ungrateful little bastards
*Check backyard temp - 88 - it's hot
*Overheat X2
*Try the pool again, no coffee this time, beer
*Watch Vooch till the garden - footnote: pull any number of photos from past thirteen years
*Watch the chickens charge into the garden - same footnote
*Chase chickens
*Weed perennial bed, front stage left... Is it stage left looking at the stage or standing on the stage ? Yell out question to Duch
*Pull wrong weeds, set skin on fire - note to self, research this weed later (Done. Cue "future post")
*Run around showing everybody burnt skin
*Check backyard temp - 88 - WTF, I need an ice bath - 3rd missed photo op for backyard thermometer
*Overheat X3
*Head to pool
*Change mind
*Head to air conditioned room
*Lay out aforesaid quilt
*Change lay out
*ditto, and...
*ditto - took pictures of laid out quilt with smart phone - now I need to figure out how to get pictures out of smart phone and in to laptop - Polaroids were sooo much easier
*Get summoned to heat up Chinese food for dinner..."now"
*Eat heated up Chinese food for dinner - I still can't get my head around overhead food/on/plate pictures
*Fold clothes that I neglected to include as *washed and *placed in dryer earlier in list - I have plenty of opportunities to photograph an overflowing laundry basket, no worries about missing the moment with this one
*Head back to air conditioned room
*I forget what I did, but I know that I did something
*Returned downstairs to look for ice cream - no luck - insert pouting selfie, not
*Photographed Milo and Swanson from a "cat's perspective"
*Tied up tomato plants with re-purposed scrap strips from earlier quilting exercise
*Piled Steve, Sam and Nan into the car and headed out for ice cream - left Pap home tying up his tomato plants with re-purposed scrap strips from earlier quilting exercise
*Missed perfect photo op for close up shot of hand holding dripping mint chocolate chip cone
*Drove around, checked out an overgrown, forgotten tricentennial park, bitched, bickered and begged the dog to stop breathing down our necks, shared some stories
*Drove by an outdoor garden wedding with flowers and tractors and white doors for the arch - joyfully smiled
*Drove by my girls' high school - all locked up to be re-built for the newest members of our small town - wistfully smiled
*Drove by my awesome neighbor jogging, beeped and waved - broadly smiled
*Checked out backyard temp as we drove down our cracked and frost-heaved driveway - 88 - perfect
*Home... & happy - what an extraordinary day
