July 29, 2024 – Daily Photo Challenge

July 29th: “Scented”

I’m reading a Summer Book club book…..and I started late…..and I don’t like not finishing on time! So, when I started giving in to the temptation to watch TV tonight instead of getting a few more chapters read, I decided to take the TV out of the equation…..and, therefore, take the temptation out of the equation!!! I went to Tim’s, ordered an X-large chai tea, and grabbed a table to read! It was such a relaxing and productive evening…it was really quite nice!!! Now, if I am lucky, I might actually still get a good night’s sleep even though I didn’t choose a decaf tea……hhhmmm!!!

July 28th: “Relaxing”

Chilling and reading for a relaxing Sunday afternoon after church!!! I didn’t stay out very long, though – at 88 degrees with full, direct sun, it wasn’t as pleasant as I thought it was going to be…..I continued this scene on my couch in the air-conditioning!!! LOL (btw – how do you like the waffle pattern my shoes made on my feet? hahaha)

Relaxing in the air conditioning is so much better!!! 🙂

I Just Didn’t – That’s Why….

I don’t have a Daily Photo to meet yesterday’s or today’s challenge topics – yesterday was “Tasty” and today was “Bottle”. Take your pick of excuses: I got busy and didn’t have time…..the topics were boring…..I forgot…..I didn’t “feel” it…..whatever…..the truth is, I just didn’t – that’s why!!! I could have taken a photo of whatever I ate yesterday, but I honestly didn’t think about it while I was eating…..I could have taken a photo of a bottle of something in my fridge or the bottle of water I drank earlier, but, again, I just didn’t think about it! I worked on stuff for our upcoming 50th class reunion, ran some errands, and mowed the lawn…..and, yesterday, I had a really full day, too!

But….in the spirit of the challenge, here is a photo from my archives that meets both topics….a deliciously “tasty” “bottle” of ice cold water taken during dinner at a sidewalk Café in Tuscany a couple years ago!!! LOL

I was beginning to wonder if I would ever find a way to represent today’s photo topic…..then I saw this in a corn field on my way home from Rush’s to purchase some ears of corn!!! 🙂
