If I am really still, they forget I am there and get really close. The fireflies start to come up when the birds go to bed and then the crickets chime it....Summer!! :) Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-53775011502449949822016-07-19T21:58:31.418-04:002016-07-19T21:58:31.418-04:00I need to exercise in my pool AnnMarie.

I don't have the fanciest yard or a swimming pool, but I do have lots of bird feeders and in the evening, I can cruise around our big back lot on John Deere...accomplishing a little mowing, but mostly just enjoying the smells and sounds, dreaming a little, carrying a bag of scraps to feed the crows who follow me, soaking up the fading sunshine...yes, I even like to be extra warm and have a dragonfly light on my arm and ride for a bit!!<br />Blessings to you,<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-18163963841678287422016-06-30T21:16:02.736-04:002016-06-30T21:16:02.736-04:00I'm a homebody all year long, Kim.

I have a couple of little trips planned this summer - a weekend at my brother's log cabin in Lake Sagada, a week on the shore in CT and a possible 3 day jaunt to Cape Cod. Otherwise, you'll find me out on the deck or patio reading, enjoying the peace or inside, in the AC trying a new recipe.

When our kids were growing up together the best times were right there at her pool! :) Even one of her dogs liked to take a swim in it sometimes.

I won't say retirement, because I am busier now than ever before! I do so enjoy being home and all that it represents. I love your list of ideas. I truly am happy just doing what needs to be done at home. I do suppose at the top of the list though is tending the flowers.
