It’s Monday again. What beautiful weather we had over the weekend! Gloriously sunny days that were not too hot, not too cold. I mowed the lawn Saturday and it was sheer poetry to be out in the fresh air, with the sky so blue it hurt your eyes and the trees painting messages across it with thier leaves of crimson, gold and umber as they swayed in the breeze. Saw a hawk stooping on some prey and it was so beautiful to see it flying against that cloudless sky. I spent quite some time trying to decide just what shade of blue it was — kept thinking cerulean, but don’t think that’s quite the right one.<\/p>\n
In doing a google search on the word cerulean, I came up with this site<\/a> which shows a graphical representation of the color, but it doesn’t (to my eye) match the word description of it as I don’t see that much green in the painted swatch. It’s an interesting site, though, as it talks about colors and their origins and history.<\/p>\n Ken got home from the race Sunday around 2:15pm. He was sunburned, tired and still a bit pumped from the great time he had. He gained 5 lbs from all the eating they did. He said there were around 15 people at his rib dinner on Saturday night — some of the Germans from the plant came up for the race and were invited to dinner. Ken had some neighbors at the camp site from New York who followed the races all over the country in their motor homes. He said they cooked the entire weekend and kept asking Ken and his friends over to join them. He said all they did all weekend was eat \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n On a sad note, we lost Nyssa yesterday. You’ll remember that I took her to the vet last week and he prescribed some pain relivers for what we thought was a muscle strain. Turns out she was in renal failure and we had no choice but to let her go yesterday afternoon. She would have been 12 today. I wrote a poem for her which you can read HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n Well, need to get to work. Hope your day is a wonderful one.<\/p>\n Love to all,<\/p>\n Margaret<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s Monday again. What beautiful weather we had over the weekend!
