Hello Everyone, Happy Saturday & Happy Cinco de Mayo...
I should have planned Mexican food for dinner but I didn't!!
The picture above is that first view that says "Yosemite". I forget which one of the roads it is on, there is another one that takes you through Arch Rock but I don't have those pictures accessible to post here. I think I said before, long story! This is from my trip in October 2010. It was a good time to go as the biggest tourist rush is over. Anytime you go to Yosemite it is very busy but is was relatively quiet on this weekday. It is a huge place but people tend to gather in certain areas.
Today was the opening day of our Farmer's Market for the season. Yes, I went, yes, I bought!!! It was so fun seeing some of my favorite vendors, one of them even gave me a big hug. I got green garlic, lovely fresh lettuce, zucchini & some tasty strawberries. Tonight I will fix some asparagus I bought a couple of days ago but ended up not being able to cook dinner because the light went out in my kitchen. We have to have maintenance change the lights for us as they have the replacement lights & even on my step stool I can't reach the light fixture. They are a round fluorescent light.
We are in a warming trend but today has stayed quite pleasant. I did turn my fans on but it is still very comfortable in here.
Donna H, congratulations on continuing to loose weight. I know how difficult it is to change eating habits but as you do loose you will feel better. Thumbs up! I haven't gotten any books from Tell Harlequin in awhile either but I guess they will send something eventually. Most of the books they have sent me I didn't enjoy all that much!!
Mary, I'm waiting for Nora's book The Witness to come out in paperback. The book I just finished was a hardback. Those books are so heavy they make my hands hurt & they are hard to hold up when I read in bed.
Here is my "Mom" book for May. There may be others!! I read Emilie Richards Wedding Ring, which I would classify as women's fiction. It was very good. The story is about three generations of women, what they have endured in life or coped with and how they come together when the oldest of the three seems to be in failing health. It takes place in rural Virginia. There are two more books in the series that I would like to read if I can find copies. This was a library book so I am hoping they will have the other two.
I need to go start my yummy dinner! My mouth is already watering! I will leave you with another picture in Yosemite.
These two pictures are of Bridal Veil Falls which are the first falls we came to. This was in October so none of the falls are very full but they are still pretty spectacular. The first picture is obviously at the top of the falls & the second one is further down the drop. It is impossible, with my camera, to get the all of it in one frame. The drop is 617 ft. Very impressive.
Enjoy your evening,
Donna M
