The Day Unfolds

I started my day with an unusual breakfast..... gag if you must.....but I was craving fried pasta, which is something my husband taught me to make early on in our marriage. While he would only ever eat this with egg and broccoli or bits of chunked ham mixed in, I took walk on the wild side and added mushrooms, garlic and onions to mine. Now that would be something enough to make him gag! But I simply loved it, and I don't feel guilty saying so. ☺ I have this weird eating philosophy that I don't know if it would work for you, but it seems to work for me. I try to limit my carb intake to prevent that little "podge" in my tummy area. But if I do eat them, I once heard it said, and I have found it to be true, that if you eat carbs in the morning, your body uses nearly all of it and gives you an energy boost that's needed most at the start your day. After that, I mainly stick to proteins, a few veggies and fruits, unsweetened almond milk, water and diluted, 100 percent juices. Hey, all's well that ends well, and this works for me!

Next, I moved on to cleaning out the hummingbird feeders, and making new nectar. If you haven't realized already by browsing through a bit of my blog, I LOVE backyard birds! And these cute little creatures so inspire me. As tiny and delicate as they are, they're tenacious and persistent, too! Not to mention, as the last of the slivers of the sun rays are peeking above the horizon at dusk, these little guys are the last ones to be seen at my feeders. I'm just amazed by them!


I really wanted to get started on watering my flowerbeds after that, but quite out of nowhere I began to hear rumbles of thunder while the sun was still out. Curious, I poked my head outside only to discover a batch of storm clouds rolling in from the southeast which was causing all of the disturbance. Well, at least Mother Nature seemed willing to take care of the job for me, or so I thought! Ironically, as quickly as the storm clouds came in, they moved on through grumbling and rumbling all along the way, yet never dropping even a single bit of rain. Guess that chore is put back on the list, but I'll gladly do it because I can kill two birds with one stone by also catching some rays of sun! Ahhhh.....I just love summertime. ♥



Last on my agenda for the day is to wash the minivan. It really needs a washing! Have you ever had one of those moments when you're approaching your vehicle after having done some shopping, and cringed a bit at how dusty and dull your vehicle's getting to look? Well, if you haven't, I have. Lol! And for me, that definitely means it's time to get a little wet, a little soapy and a little refreshed while washing the car on a hot, summer day like today. Then I'll feel a whole lot better about things! Neat, tidy and shiny always makes me happy.
