This past week has been spent just trying to get things back to normal after being gone for so long. Getting unpacked and put away, doing laundry, filling the almost empty refrigerator and freezer, cleaning inside, and trying to get some work done in the yard. The weather is just tooooo hot, to get very much done outside, so we've been doing a little bit at a time. Lots of pulling weeds, and spraying the flower beds, getting the topiary out front trimmed, and trimming bushes and tree limbs. We have not accomplished a whole lot outside..... but we'll get it done..........and then it's getting the power washer out!
We have a new visitor - not the Blue Heron this time, but the neighborhood Great Egret. Think he's looking for food. Hate the the guy across the canal feeds all these birds, and then takes off to go back north......... We don't feed them. This one wanders up to the screen lanai, and often onto the deck to look at himself in the window.
It seems every time I go to fix dinner, cook or bake.......I'm missing at least one ingredient! Third trip to the grocery store since we got home...... and the total spent on groceries in those three trips is over $500!!!
On the baking side - we made no-bake cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon buns. And it's always good to get back in the cooking groove.....and we've enjoyed a good variety of dishes including, meatloaf, chef salads, Potato Soup, Cajun Shrimp Pasta, Noodles and Beef, Chicken Fajitas............and tonight will be our homemade Pizza. Pictured below is the first stage of the potato soup.
Not a whole lot going on around here. Checked out the upcoming shows in Ft. Myers and Hudson...........but nothing that caught my fancy. So looking to see what other events are on the upcoming calendar. But we did make plans with friends for dinner at our usual spot later this month. We'll have a lot to catch up on.
