HAPPY SUNDAY, BUDDY-GIRLS O' MINE!

I am up with the sun and the birds (and the dog) and it feels so peaceful. The sky is completely cloudless and the air is so still. I hear frogs croaking. I have the coffee on. And I am down another .4 pounds to be UNDER pre-vacation weight by .2 pounds. Does life get any better?? LOL

What are your plans for this blessing of a day, friends? I am going to get some exercise in the yard today, leveling out the flagstone as well as I can, getting wee gravel into the cracks, moving a few boulders into place, pulling weeds and (best for last) picking MORE raspberries. My 3 little stick-bushes have been SO insanely fruitful, and they are STILL flowering!! LOVE fresh raspberries....love fresh (low-sugar) raspberry jam even more. Maybe raspberry picking should be the first thing on the agenda for the day?

AND since I have managed amazing portion-control all week, I am going to continue that because it is really working. I already don't feel as puffy or weighted down. YAY!

Be REALLY good to yourselves today, buddies. Hugs,

I love it when the week is all planned out ahead of time.

The fireworks for the closing ceremonies were incredible....did you see them??

Jolie isn't excited about school? Too much dread about the work ahead...something else? I am going to keep her in my prayers that she ends up happy and excited by the end of the first day.

How did the 'Skins do, or should I even ask? ;o)

The raspberry picking was the first thing I did, and I promptly turned them into a vat of low-sugar, intensely flavoured quick-jam. Wayne and Jen are having some on vanilla ice cream....I am foregoing my first taste until I have my multi-grain toast in the morning. YAY, self-control rocks!! ;o)

Yeah, and would you believe I FORGOT to have some for breakfast?!?


I have to agree about freezer jam (YUM). Mine will be a suitable substitute, though (if I ever have any).
