It's Tuesday Morning,
Well i grabbed my camera and the bear spray [Image] and headed down the driveway.Crunching loudly on the gravel so not to surprise any one who may be sleeping in the thickets along the driveway down to Bald Rock Road.
It is pretty heavily shaded but i hit one bright and sunny spot that stopped me in my noisy tracks. I got that hot whiff of pine and meadow that magically brought me back to Berry Creek in the Summer of 74. I just stood there,the dry heat and aroma soaking into my skin and olfactory. Absolutely transported , frozen in another time.....for a long moment. I felt completely at home and happy.[Image]
A deep breath and headed noisily once again down Centurian Drive, snapping shots of giant dandelion puffs and curling Madrone bark and all the wonderful shining unspoiled nature here in this tiny little spot of the Sierras. Noticing where the deer have been bedding, witnessing another hatching of dragonflies and myself light and shining under the clear brilliant blue sky.
I've claimed that this air sparkles. And i think it's due to the granite and granite dust reflecting more light.
I did wake up around 4:30. But just rolled over , curling deeper into the sheets, enjoying the sleeping. [Image] I finally decided just before 6 to head downstairs.
A glug of " Vim and Vigor" elixor that Dad shared with me from the Vermont Country Store, a mix of Apple Cider Vinegar, Cinnamon, anise, Garlic, and about 8 other ingredients including Black Cohash which is supposed to rev me up. Get me going....its taking some getting used to but isn't awful. [Image] Its just a shock to the old tastebuds and gut first thing in the morning, vinegar you know? actually i kind of like it but maybe not on an empty stomach.
I checked my email and went back downstairs , this time to take the next supplement .
Back upstairs and organized my room. ( Al and Mary's room) back downstairs and opened the windows......it doesn't get too hot for me. I love having the windows open.[Image] Went out and checked on the yard and garden.
Now i have to tell you what my plan is about eating. Im eating my main meal for breakfast. This morning i had the best thing i've ever tasted.
When i went to the cheap grocery store i spied " wild mushroom ravioli" . And ever since i had mushroom ravioli at Bob's country club about 20 years ago at an event Jill and Bob hosted; i've wanted to have it again and i look for it all the time......here it was staring me in the face. HALF PRICE. I only had to use it within a day........well, even though it's been a few days im sure it was still ok. OK? OK? this was divine. And it was just almost impossible to stop eating it......I wanted to eat the whole package it was so good. A very concentrated mushroom flavor and delightful mouth feel of the mushrooms themselves a little al'dente the pasta , not too heavy, silky. So if you see this product , and if it's on sale. Try it. You'll Like it.
well, back to the great outdoors. Another lap down the driveway, working off my breakfast . How bad can a cup and a half of pasta be?
ill be back.
