Of Note: National Waffle Iron Day (Do you own one? Ours is like this.)

Housekeeping: clean learning/sitting room, neaten desk, sort/organize school supplies, finalize weekend errand lists

Weather: thundery morning, sunny afternoon, around 90

Dinner:

turkey burgers & hot dogs

herby roasted potatoes (olive oil + herbes de provence)

tossed salad

lemon & raspberry sorbet with raspberry sauce

Nature:

- Had a call from my folks today - their neighbor found evidence (scat, prints) of a BLACK BEAR under their birdfeeders! Bear in mind, we live a mere mile from my parents, so I'm a wee bit freaked out concerned.

Notes of the Day:

- Am at wit's end over the steady parade of bugs of all kinds in the house this summer. Ants, earwigs, spiders, beetles, silverfish, flies, mosquitos ETC. As much as I love nature, I LOATHE bugs in my house. I can appreciate them outside ... inside I can kill them (without remorse). "Nice" bugs, however - like crickets, caterpillars, bumblebees, butterflies, ladybugs and moths - get a free pass.

- I have a post about sewing "advice" and a knitting book giveaway going on over at my main blog. Take a peek if you're interested! :)

I'm glad to hear it's not just us with the parade o' bugs this summer - our bane has been spiders and centipedes - I hear the centipedes eat the spiders, but I want neither in our house. Exterminator is coming in a few days and in the meantime I gas them with Raid. No mercy.
