The last couple of days the weather has been hot. I soaked my garden and made sure my birds (lesser goldfinch) visitors have plenty of fresh water to take a bath. 
I picked a few tomatoes and put them in a baking pan outside my balcony to make sun-dried tomatoes.
I have been keeping myself busy because it helps me stay positive. I have also chosen my circle of friends wisely. Staying positive is essential to have influences in your life that support you and lift you up instead of dragging you down. I try to eat healthy and keep hydrated. I limit my time on social media and television. My granddaughter Sophia keeps me busy, too.
Most of the time I am in my garden, writing, crocheting, and cooking. This year, I am canning and preserving. I really enjoy sharing my bountiful harvest. It makes me happy. My mom would be so proud of me.
Try doing something different this week and sharing with a friend. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you.
I will end with this quote.
“In the end,
only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how
gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”
Poppy and Sophia
