Where did the summer go? You would think that working from home for weeks on end would result in a long, boring season. It was not that way for me. In my last post I wrote about all the knitting I did, without much to show for it. Today, I thought it would be fun to go off-topic somewhat and share with you some of my non-knitting wins.
I turned 55 in June. In spite of my health, it was a fabulous day! I wore my birthday tiara, got pretty flowers from my sweetie, bought myself a Razorbacks t-shirt, got a new Kitty for my desk and had lots and lots of CDC approved kisses.
The gyms may have been closed, but I spent my time in the Lord’s Gym!
I turned over gardens, hauled blue stone, thinned and transplanted perennials., and made lots of places for my birds to relax.
We had some victories at work due to solid leadership and a dose of teamwork:
Preparing to open school for the students… 
…while a major capital project is underway.
I found some cute shirts to wear when I putter in the yard. I see a theme.
One of my first social outings was a visit to my friend’s porch to discuss her class budget. It was a beautiful day to snuggle up for a photo with her littles.
This was so good for the soul!
New friendships were made.
I met Malcolm who noticed a certain Kitty on my desk! 
Say hello to Winston!!
My honey had a birthday too! What do I give a guy who doesn’t ask for anything? A garden! Moving more dirt and stone for my man!
Once it fills in and blooms, it will be lovely. I planted Russian Sage and Rose of Sharon (both dwarf varieties), a miniature pine and some periwinkle for ground cover. St. Francis seems very happy! Next year I would love to add a hummingbird feeder.
Welp, that is my summer in a nutshell. Not bad if I do say so myself!
Have a blessed week and if you celebrate Yom Kippur, G’mar chatima tova! May you be sealed in the Book of Life!
Love to all,
ReginaMary
