Musings

I do very much enjoy this photo setting when it works (portrait, stage light).

First day of summer vegetation progress report from central north Georgia mountains: mimosa trees in full flower and scattered moderate sized pink blooms in the ditches that I couldn’t recognize at highway speeds.

Before coffee, I got confused about…well, I thought it was the longest day of the year, so I stepped out before sunrise to look up. Of course, the phone compensated for the darkness and made it darned light. And I got the solstice wrong; it’s tomorrow.

BC here is Before Coffee

There’s gotta be a clever quip based on this leaf image, right? Something to do with the word stoma? Got me.

Title is phrase that sometimes appears on our TV…coyly, in the upper right.

I did salmon again tonight in the air fryer. For the last two minutes, I threw in quartered grape tomatoes and some green onion shreds. The green paste on the fish is a kale pesto mixture that TJ’s sells that tastes pretty much like “regular” pesto. After extricating the salmon and veg from the deep cooker-bin, I put it on spinach that had cycled through the microwave, and added cauliflower steam-fried in a separate pan. I added more pesto and wah-lah.

My favorite cheese-grating device…failed. [Flexes biceps]…I don’t know my own strength. 🤣

The title—94, 96, 95—reports the high temps through Sunday that the meteorologist predicted yesterday morning. I think yesterday did get to 94, but today topped at 97. Yeesh.

What will tomorrow bring?

Appropriately, this is a yesterday-photo. 😇

We are three meals in on our air fryer experiments…two of salmon filets, and one of tofu. We are (I am) trying to incorporate more fish/other meals in our diet, instead of terrestrial critter protein (including dairy).

One advantage of the air fryer, and I don’t understand how this happens, but there’s no fishy odor. Amazing.

We visited the Land of Tall Buildings, which is not far away, this morning. I was surprised by the lit-up windows, knowing that Mr. Sun was off to the left. I quickly figured out that Mr. Sun was reflecting off “my” building into the opposite structure. [Tadah.]

Yesterday, I did finish pressure-washing the front and back entry areas, and called that eeeee-nufff. [I ignored the sidewalk in front of the house; apologies, pedestrians.] I also summed the time spent pressure-washing over two days—6.5 hrs—whew! Today, I rested my back (which, truth be told, was basically okay, I think because of my irregular “Classical Stretch/Essentrics” workouts).

How can you not love a fruit tart? DMK’s masterpiece was a fabulous and very tasty example.
