I will attempt to place a photo of my daughter's painting with this writing. My corner has enjoyed summer heat for the past few days. Now that I have turned the A/C on we're back to cloudy skies and Spring. It is still dry and I'm still in a drought condition. I could be mowing and weeding. Guess what?! The gym pool is closed for many hours except for tomorrow. I think they're doing kiddo swim lessons. Somehow I will get my lazy bones up and go exercise in the water tomorrow morning. I promise.

That is beautiful! Your daughter is quite talented! We're back to spring temps here. Our high today was 61F and our low tonight is supposed to reach 40F. It has been storming/raining yesterday and today and is supposed to keep raining through tomorrow evening.

@sallypup You're very welcome. Sometimes you can't trust people but most of the time I take a chance on them when we need something done. It's rare that I'm disappointed.

@DaddyEvil Thanks. I paid somebody to mow and weed whack our property today. How to trust somebody? So many iffy sounding people. This guy worked hard, though.

That's a really nice painting, I rarely see dragon flies around here.

Thanks @rebelann I'm guessing that daughter in Arizona doesn't see them much either. I wonder what it was like for her to paint something so different from her world?

@rebelann Could be. Daughter did not like our woods hikes. Sometimes they were too steep for her to enjoy.

@wolfgirl569 Thanks. Now I'm thinking I need a matching blue green comforter!

That’s a lovely painting! Weather has been so-so here compared to Florida Haven’t had time for my morning walks, but exercise in the house and every day pulling weeds and throwing branches and twigs into the woods.

@DianneN Pulling weeds is hard work and exercise.

@snowy22315 Thanks. She works with a large insurance company via computers. She has been allowed to work at home since the Covid days. I don't know how to explain her job- I think she works on claims and such.

This weather is crazy. We get marine layer in the mornings, but it's dryer than usual. It's hard to figure how to dress right now. Cold mornings, heats up, cold evenings...

The free spirit of the dragonflies is captured here and it’s lovely. What a nice scene to wake up to every day!!
