Dog Days of Summer

What do dogs have to do with it? They don't make it hot. It was really humid today. But no rain. I had to water the few plants that aren't cactus that still survive in my flowerbed. We don't water the lawn, it's on it's own.

We've been eating out quite a bit since I gave up being gluten free. Just because we could. But it's time to cut it back to once a week, to expensive. Since we're off on Thursdays that's going to be our date day. We'll eat out at noon on Thursdays (cheaper) and maybe go to an afternoon movie (cheaper). There's 3 movies that I want to see, the Indiana Jones one, the new Mummy one and one called Journey to the Center of the Earth. This seems to be a pretty good year for movies. Sometimes there's just nothing to go see but this year there's several things.

I washed my hair with Suave shampoo today and it feels dry even though I used a shampoo for dry hair that should have been moisturizing. I did CWC but it is still kinda dry. So maybe I'll convert to one of the other shampoos that I have been trying out. I really like the Dove one. We'll see.

I've really been in the mood to cook lately, try new things. I've got several cookbooks. Most recipes make large amounts so I'm going to cut them in half if necessary. I could freeze the extra but you still have to eat it pretty soon or it gets freezer-burn. I'm going to make chicken pot pie next. DH wants a banana split cake, I remember seeing a recipe for that somewhere, need to see if I can find it.

Photos of the day. I took these photos yesterday at Medicine Park. Close up of a waterfall on Medicine Creek.



Long distance shot of the same waterfall.



Duck on edge of waterfall.



Pretty bridge on the creek, it doesn't cross the whole creek, it just goes to a little man-made island.



A view of the creek itself.



Close up of the water, it looks like an abstract painting.
