Yesterday completely got away from me. Did the coffee run, farmers market, and grocery store and before I knew it, it was 3PM and I needed a nap, then there was baseball all evening. Go Orioles and Padres!!

If you’d asked me at the start of the season, “Can the O’s be in first place?” I would have said yes, because I always think that, LOL. And if you’d asked, “With all this depth and talent, do you think the Padres will be running hot and cold?” I probably would have said yes to that too, cause bless ’em, they can’t get everyone in sync. But they both had great games yesterday and I hope the O’s can keep it going, and that maybe this series is a good turning point for my Padres.

Got this gorgeous bunch of zinnias at the farmers market to brighten up the living room. They’re so pretty, and I have a slew of seeds I got at the Elizabethan Gardens when we were down at the beach and next year, I’ll have my own! (For me, gardening is the triumph of hope over experience, LOL.)

Granted, growing my own zinnias is dependent on being able to grow anything and the way things are going with the climate…a growing season isn’t actually a given anymore. THIRTY some years of voting in favor of the environment and yet, here we are. I don’t know how much more I can reduce my carbon footprint, and anything I can do in a year still won’t offset what Exxon does in a day, but yeah, my gas powered car that I drive 3400 miles a year is the problem. So forgive me if I’m tiring of the “vote harder” messaging from the D’s – stop asking me for money and start actually fighting.

On a less apocalyptic note, the house is still not a disaster! But I do need to tend to some things to keep it that way, so time to fire up the tunes and plow through the to-do list so I can chill the rest of the day.

You have a lovely Sunday.
