Delicious pizza, figs, and bird watching; how wonderful! Thinking I will make some gazpacho tomorrow as we are due for some very hot days by Wednesday. Yikes! The prediction is around 106 degrees.

Actually as I age I find I'm more thrilled by savory morsels than sweets and chocolate, however I admit to being a coffee ice cream lover on these hot days, and the scale is proving that lately! I'm trying to place the blame on prednisone which I've been on for a while due to a flare of the nasty polymyalgia rheumatica again, but I know I've been snacking far too much this hot summer too!<br /><br />Thank you Donna for your kind comment. I do love the birds in the garden and I'm hoping your darned rats will soon be gone and you can enjoy your pretty birds again.<br /><br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-54559636350837328852017-07-29T12:26:00.600-04:002017-07-29T12:26:00.600-04:00You have such a sweet heart Mary.
