So.

Saturday.

Saturday started with Farmer’s market.

Sunflowers, a mix of cherry tomatoes of various hues, a HUGE zucchini (courgette) and 2 heirloom slicers!

On returning home, Bear hit the side yard.

I missed the photo, but he had a nice roll on the stiff, brown (un-watered) grass.

And then the start of a nap.

But, the yellow jackets.

And the heat.

He came inside.

Meanwhile…

I chopped herbies…

For a chicken dish I’ve had my eye on.

BUT.

After I had the chicken marinating in the herbs and olive oil and lemon juice and garlic…

I went to the bedroom for something…

Bear was sound asleep.

I was dragging.

I put the marinating chicken in the refrigerator and then crawled into bed.

Bear stayed.

This was 1:00 ish p.m.

I came to at 4:55 p.m.

Bear was in the same spot.

Yep…we HIT the wall. I guess we needed it. Funny that it was both of us.

After the prolonged nap, we got up.

Had a good long walk.

I fixed a burger dinner for Bear.

I fixed a pancake dinner for me.

Another long walk.

We went to bed.

8:30 p.m.

Sunday.

A Fried Egg sandwich extraordinare for breakfast.

I finally cooked the marinating chicken… oh-la-la to the MAX! The recipe: My Little Expat’s Kitchen: Chicken with tomatoes and olives

Moving on:

Bear and I hopped in the Jeep and had a drive south to Swan Lake.

The leaves are turning and it looks Fallish…

But it was HOT!

Still.

We hit the wall, we bounced back, we are moving on.
