Happy Wednesday Everyone! it's a hot, sunny day here and finally a day without any thunderstorms predicted.
This morning I decided to make myself a small bowl of assorted fruit for breakfast. The fruit this summer seems exceptionally sweet and delicious. So, I had a handful of black grapes, some cantaloupe chunks and sliced banana. It was really refreshing and a nice change from my usual breakfast.
Of course I had my two cups of coffee.
I'm trying to eat lighter today for no particular reason.
I don't have any exciting plans for today but I am going to work on a baby blanket that I started crocheting and then ran out of the yarn I was using. I had to wait 2 weeks for Hobby Lobby to have it on sale so yesterday my oldest daughter was in that area and she picked it up for me.
The even better part was she wouldn't take my money for it.
That's what's happening here.
How's your day going?

Having assorted fruits for breakfast sounds nice. I like black grapes and banana but have to skip cantaloupe because I'm allergic to it. I'll have apple instead. :)

Are you allergic to all melons or just cantaloupe? I love apples too but both my daughters are allergic to apples.

@Beestring at least you aren't allergic to all melons and can still enjoy other fruits

@Marilynda1225 I'm allergic to cantaloupe and mango. Watermelon is fine.

I hope that yarn matches (dye lots can differ).
I had some raspberries this morning from my yard and some mullberries from a tree behind a church parking lot on my way home from the Centre.

@Marilynda1225 They are. Too bad the strawberries are done.

Yes the yarn matches perfectly.
I love raspberries and I bet yours are even more delicious coming from your garden.

A bowl of fruit sounds like the perfect breakfast! I’m back home for the day after a doctor appointment, and a trip to Walmart and CVS pharmacy. The doctor said I’m the same knot head as always. Okay, she didn’t say that, but I bet she would if she could.

Hahaha you're too funny but I doubt the doctor thinks your a knothead . Hope you have a great afternoon after your busy morning.

It ended up better as expected as I wrote about earlier, When I was waiting at the doctor's office I saw a lady crocheting.

Usually at the doctors office I see people reading or crocheting. It's a good way to pass the time while you have to wait.

We have a chance of storms the rest of this week. Cantaloupe sounds good. I am waiting for it to start coming in at the auction

We got two at Sams Club and they're juicy and sweet. Hope you can get some soon and they're as good as mine are

From what I see on the news Texas is burning up but I'm glad you and Roscoe and Tuffy are staying indoors

@Marilynda1225 It is stressful, because you cannot complete what you set out to do and you feel like you have wasted your time.

I'm glad you were able to get outside for your breaks and clear your head. Guess working with the new software program is stressful?

Good afternoon. It's blazing hot here and I'm thankful the A/C is working well. (It's 101F with a RealFeel of 111F. I have the air set at 78F.)
I'm currently eating some Rainier cherries and finished a sloppy joe since I woke up around 3 pm. I ate fresh strawberries for a snack yesterday then worked up and froze the rest of the quart of them for Pretty to use when she makes herself a smoothie. (Pretty doesn't eat cherries.)
If you feel like a sloppy joe, I cooked up a huge batch this morning and ate one for breakfast. I put the rest of it in the fridge for easy meals this week. You'd be welcome to come have some with us.

@Marilynda1225 I was telling Pretty that there were some myLotters I'd love to visit after I start getting disability. Bringing you some homemade sloppy joe meat isn't entirely out of the question.

Thanks for the invite and I do love sloppy joes but it's too hot for me to venture out so I was wondering if you deliver??
I like cherries and just finished a bunch from my last weeks shopping. I'm with Pretty on using frozen strawberries for a smoothie. Filling and refreshing.
Glad your A/C is working. Gosh that's hot there

I take a glass of mixed fruit juice with breakfast everyday and a small bowl of fruit salad in the evening. I love black grapes which are not always available in India.

Black grapes are my favorite and red grapes are next. I couldn't find black grapes anywhere for a few weeks but now they seem to be back in stock. I eat them every morning with my breakfast.

@aninditasen I love grapes especially when they're so sweet. The only grapes I' not particularly fond of is green. Do you ever freeze grapes and eat them frozen?

Happy to see you here hope you get enough rain that it helps with the plants, flowers and grass and those bird baths but no storms. Today we have showers and every day this week they have predicted thunderstorms but so far we haven't had any. I don't know if it's just me but this summer the weather seems to be less than favorable

@Marilynda1225 Thanks. We got about a five minute shower yesterday and hopefully more this weekend. Too hot and humid for me lately.

I stocked up on fruit this week as it's been so sweet and juicy.
Hobby Lobby is my Disneyland and I think it's Wednesday

@Marilynda1225 We'll be getting more fruit today!! Seriously, shopping at Hobby Lobby (even just to look around) is better than going on any Disney ride . And now it's Fri-yay !

You took me to a memory when you mentioned Hobby Lobby I was on a package holiday in the US and later spent time with some friends and family. I was in Colorado where my nephew and his family stays. They took me to Hobby Lobby where I did my Christmas shopping.

Fruit has been extra sweet and juicy so I stocked up this week.
I'm so happy my daugther was over by Hobby Lobby and picked up the yarn I needed.
