People. I have done nothing this weekend but read and crochet. Didn’t
leave the house for two days. Didn’t do a lick of housework. I was a total
slacko and I have NO REGRETS.

Father’s Day bloomers – along with some pollinators.

Dr. M’s Other Brother Mike (note: not an actual brother) has been sick & not able to take care of mowing this ditch in front of his dad’s house. Dr. M was not about to try to use a mower, but our little weed eater wouldn’t be powerful enough – so he got a bigger model that did the trick quite well. His mom’s hydrangea was blooming AND the blueberries are ripe!

I put those blueberries to use right away – YUM!
Things are just very heavy
right now (and this was before the bombshell of Friday), so Dr. M made us a
comfort food dinner.

Double Orange Daylily with Bug!
Went by my dad’s house
during lunch for three days in a row just to get this monster finished. I was
late getting back to work every day. Ha!

I’m so so sad about the way we have let White Evangelical culture take over this country. And I still consider myself to be an Evangelical (sort of). This decision that overrides Roe v. Wade will cause death and misery. Especially because there aren’t enough services in place to help women and families who are forced to have babies. Not to mention the women who might die due to complications from a dangerous pregnancy. I could write a novel, but I won’t.
On the other hand, we made
Mexican Street Corn in the air fryer, and watched Freddie Freeman get his World
Series ring (it’s the first time he was back in Atlanta since he traitorously
went to the Dodgers).

The Roy says, “Can Dr. M come out & play?”
Work
has gotten chaotic again. The good news is that even though I was sure that my
boss was trying to figure out how to fire me, in actual fact he was getting
ready to ask me to take on some new duties, temporarily. I don’t know why any
time there is drama at work I automatically assume it means I’m in trouble, but
here we are. How about you? Do you have Imposter Syndrome too, or do actually you
know how valuable you are?

Hmmmm... I'm white, and I belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Can I still come and play? I don't think I've taken over much of anything, although I'd be willing to make a move on the ice cream section at my favorite grocer's if I saw the chance!
ReplyDeleteThat double orange daylily is beautiful, and the bug's a great addition. That sure enough is a comfort food dinner, too. I've already eaten, but now I want to eat again!
Just for you, I'll provide the lyrics of another of my songs. You can share them with Dr. M -- he being another lyricist and all.
"Oh, give me a home when the buffalo roam
and I'll show you a house full of dirt;
where never is seen a good cleaning machine,
and the housekeeper's feelings are hurt"
"Bones, bones on the range,
where the deer and the antelope lay.
The mice came along, first they burst into song,
Then they carted the carcass away."
...that should be "where the buffalo roam"
DeleteHa! An excellent song.

DeleteThat first picture of food is something I would eat! Go figure. I really don't care what any person believes as long as it guides their life and leaves mine alone. I do not understand their desire/attempt to make everyone conform to their beliefs.
ReplyDeleteHa! I must be slipping. But I think oatmeal & blueberries is pretty normal. I had eggs on my oatmeal the next day :)
DeleteI love your Roy photos! Glad the work situation didn't turn out to be anything too scary. I don't think of you as an evangelical. You seem like a very live-and-let-live Christian, whereas I think evangelicals are focused on furthering their version of God's word at all costs. (And I think their version is often wrong!)
ReplyDeleteI hesitated to label myself that way, but I guess my denomination technically is part of the evangelical movement. But maybe not - it's certainly pretty wide open as far as being open & affirming, etc.
DeleteYour flower photos are beautiful. I took a few myself this afternoon, but they didn't come out as good as yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Roy waiting outside!
