What else is there to say?

Today started out hazy, hot, and humid. I've been having issues with my car and it is in for repair so my youngest has graciously allowed me to use her car. Using her car means I take her to the morning train and pick her up in the late afternoon. That's fine. Get some quiet time in the car waiting for the train.

This morning I came home to eat breakfast and it was dark, dark, dark...and then it rained. Hard. Not for long. And then the sun came out.

Part of this new lifestyle includes daily exercise. I walk (the local mall) and I lift weights (in the kitchen). Today suddenly became such a beautiful day that instead of walking in the mall, I walked outside the mall. There is a sidewalk around the perimeter. I put on my little ipod shuffle and listened to podcasts of Splendid Table. I learned about beans and pesto today. The walk was nothing short of glorious (1). The air was clear and there was a nice breeze blowing. The sun was out. Spectacular.(This is a picture of my foot in my Earth Shoes that I wear when I walk. They are lightweight. They have a negative heel. One of my friends said she thinks they're the ugliest shoes she's ever seen! I like them.)

Of course when I was done I was sweating. And by the time I got home the humidity had come back. But for that hour, the weather was beautiful.

I've settled in on a salad for the summer. Leaf lettuce, Jersey tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, oil & vinegar dressing. The tomatoes this year are sweet and meaty. Nothing short of glorious (2).
