Summer Dreams


This picture puts me in a dreamy state of mind.  A fellow teacher gave the sunflower to me at the start of the summer in a little pot.  Now it reminds me that school is starting, and my friends are going back to work.  Am I feeling sentimental? Only a bit.  I've loved this summer, and for me I'm counting on several more weeks of it.  I am not feeling the stress of a new school year.  I'm happily contemplating what new adventures my life might hold:
  • Should I keep my garden blog going all fall and winter?  I love writing it, but I get almost no feedback.  Is it enough to write it for myself?  Talk to me... someone.
  • Do we want to invest in a greenhouse?  It's a hobby both my husband and I enjoy.  He especially likes to nurture plants over the winter. We've been looking online at a lovely cedar greenhouse.  Is it worth the cost?
  • Do I want to start a second blog?  I had originally thought I'd write a quilting blog, but thought I'd "learn how" with this gardening blog, since it was summertime.  I have worked on some quilting projects this summer, but winter is the season I really get into that.  And now I have in mind to perfect my cooking skills.  Soups to be exact.  I'd like to perfect my already good soups, and expand my soup repertoire.  Maybe I should blog about that.
  • My daughter is Marketing Director for BASC at SUNY Brockport.  She has organized a "Great Plate Challenge" for her workplace. It's a 60 day Eating for Wellness challenge that starts next week.  I've signed on to see if I can further improve my diet. (Yippee:)
  • Weekly piano lessons for my grandkids, Brooklynn and Brodie, start up again as soon as school is here.  It's time to get Brooklynn to play in church.
Summer daydreams....  I'm so lucky to have the luxury and the time.
