miss_lucy21Today is a day where I love summer. I really do enjoy summer, honestly, for all that I've complained about the heat this year (this year is not typical. I am really hoping it's a blip and not the start of a long term trend).
It's sunny and while it's about 90, it's not terribly humid and there's a really nice breeze, so I decided I wanted a walk. So I drove down to this huge metro park that is right across from where we lived when I was a little kid (if this park had been there when we lived there, we would have been there multiple times a week). I took a walk around the pond, which was pretty nice. Just enough shade that I was never super hot and enough of a breeze to be comfortable when there was no shade.
Then, I went to the farmer's market nearby (which *was* there when I was little and we were there at least twice a week in the summer). I got sweet corn for dinner and Rainier cherries because they were less expensive than at the grocery. Tonight's menu is sweet corn, bacon (we somehow have 3 pounds of bacon in the fridge, so some of it needs to get used up sooner rather than later), salad, dinner rolls and watermelon. I contemplated buying pound cake and ice cream for strawberry sundaes for dessert, but I wasn't sure how many strawberries we had left from the weekend. Next week, maybe.
So, sweet corn for dinner and baseball on the tv. Sounds like a nice night to me.
